Iphie Chen of NETGEAR
NETGEAR announced that NETGEAR 10G/Multi-Gigabit Dual WAN Pro Router (PR60X) is making its recent addition to their total networking solution platform, Insight. NETGEAR’s line of smart switches, pro Wi-Fi access points, insight cloud-based management platform, and now PR60X professional router, reaches a different height. With up to 18Gbps bi-directional WAN (wide area network)-LAN (local area network) throughput performance and dual WAN failover interfaces, PR60X solidifies NETGEAR’s prime position in networking solutions for small and mid-sized businesses.
“NETGEAR has reimagined connectivity for businesses with the launch of the PR60X Pro Router. 10G broadband is coming to every business in the very near future. Businesses need to be able to support those speeds on their router to get the most out of their high-speed broadband connection. Our expert team created the PR60X to help small businesses and the VARs that manage their networks, using high performance hardware and prioritising network reliability, reduced latency, high-speed data delivery, and versatility. It seamlessly combines with our portfolio of Pro Wi-Fi Access Points, Smart Switches, and our Insight cloud management platform for an optimised business network that’s easy to deploy and manage.” says Iphie Chen, senior product line manager, SMB Business Unit at NETGEAR.
PR60X Pro Router
The PR60X is designed for future with performance, security and ease of use in mind. With 10G/Multi-Gigabit throughput, 10G/2.5G dual WAN ports, and 10G/2.5G/Multi-Gigabit LAN ports, it can handle internet and device speeds of present and future. The PR60X assures uninterrupted internet connectivity for critical applications and services with its dual WAN fail-over design. As gateway to a company’s network, router protects against malicious incoming traffic. The built-in firewall blocks unauthorised access to network and monitors communications between network and outside world.
The PR60X also sports a sleek rack mount design with ports in rear for simple, clean integration among pre-existing data networking equipment. It also includes reverse mounting rack ears for front-facing ports, if desired, helping users to attain a unified, traditional look. Its technical capacity and NETGEAR’s support make it a secure and affordable, cloud managed 10G routing solution for any small business.
NETGEAR includes a 3-year warranty and 90-days free phone and chat support for PR60X, making it a simple and stress-free networking solution for businesses to adopt.

Insight 7.0 remote management and support
The recent edition of NETGEAR’s cloud management platform, Insight 7.0 covers whole network, including the PR60X router, providing remote configuration and management 24/7 from any location. NETGEAR Insight is a tool that IT (information technology) managers and VARs (value added resellers) can use to remotely manage networks, from access points to switches, routers, and more. This is especially important for present small businesses that may not have a dedicated IT team onsite. VARs can remotely monitor health of their client’s managed networks and address issues in real-time to ensure systems are running smoothly.
Pro Wi-Fi access points
NETGEAR offers a product line of Wi-Fi 6 and 6E access points, supported by 2.5G Ethernet, fully compatible with insight managed multi-gig PoE (power over ethernet) Smart Switches for full speed internet and intra-network throughput. The Pro Wi-Fi Access Points offer choices in dual band and tri-band radio configurations, with same security and management feature set but various performance and price points.
Smart switches
Rounding out complete network solution are NETGEAR’s insight managed Smart Switches. The product line spans 5 to 48 ports with POE+ and POE++ capability. By offering industry’s portfolio of Multi-Gigabit and 10G PoE switches, NETGEAR is main choice for VARs for any configuration meeting every business need and environment.
