Netgear Router and Modem Buying Guide Australia

Choosing a Netgear router or modem starts with the internet connection type, network size and the number of wired and wireless devices that need to connect.

Start from our Netgear Modems and Routers Australia hub or browse Netgear Modems & Routers.

Check the Internet Connection Type

Confirm whether the service requires a modem, a router, or a combined modem-router before choosing hardware.

Compare WiFi Standards

Match the WiFi standard to the performance required by connected devices and the expected network load.

Coverage and Number of Devices

Consider home or office size, walls, floors and the number of simultaneous users or devices.

Ethernet Ports and Wired Devices

Check the number and speed of Ethernet ports if desktop computers, printers, switches, storage or other equipment will be connected by cable.

Management and Security Features

Compare available management, guest-network, parental-control or security features where they matter to the intended setup.
