NETGEAR announced the availability of the fourth member in its Insight Managed WiFi 6 Access Points, the Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX6000 Tri-band Multi-gig Access Point, designed to provide the ultimate WiFi performance for small and medium businesses. This new tri-band access point brings next-generation premium WiFi 6 performance to small and medium businesses, delivering up to 40% higher1 speeds to each connected device as compared to WiFi 5.
Cybersecurity researchers have detailed critical security vulnerabilities affecting NETGEAR DGN2200v1 series routers, which they say could be reliably abused as a jumping-off point to compromise a network's security and gain unfettered access. The three HTTPd authentication security weaknesses impact routers running firmware versions prior to v1.0.0.60, and have since been fixed by the company in December 2020 as part of a coordinated vulnerability disclosure process.
Attackers could use critical firmware vulnerabilities discovered by Microsoft in some NETGEAR router models as a stepping stone to move laterally within enterprise networks. They allow unauthenticated attackers to access unpatched routers' management pages via authentication bypass, gain access to secrets stored on the device, and derive saved router credentials using a cryptographic side-channel attack.
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini Dual-band Mesh System with its attractive price point is designed for small businesses and home-based offices. With an WiFi 6 multi-node mesh system, the base configuration of an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini system comprises a router and a satellite.
NETGEAR announced the availability of the latest Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Dual-band Multi-gig Access Point, designed to provide the optimal WiFi experience for small and medium businesses. This new dual-band access point brings next-generation premium WiFi 6 performance to small and medium businesses, delivering up to 40% higher communication speeds to each connected device as compared to WiFi 5.
NETGEAR announced the availability of the GS316EP and GS316EPP PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Plus switches that deliver small businesses, retail shops, and home-based businesses with larger Power-over-Ethernet budgets and more convenience. The GS316EP has a total PoE budget of 180 Watts while the GS316EPP supports a maximum PoE budget of 231 Watts, making them amongst the most versatile switches for powering WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 access points, IP cameras, IoT devices, IP speakers, IP phones, IP LED lights, point of sale systems, and other IP devices.
NETGEAR announced the addition of a new tri-band mesh system to the family of Nighthawk Mesh - Nighthawk Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System. The powerful quad-core processor of the Nighthawk Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 system delivers more processing power than WiFi 5, increasing the overall WiFi performance.
Netgear has released a swathe of security and firmware updates for its JGS516PE Ethernet switch after researchers from NCC Group discovered 15 vulnerabilities in the device - including an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw. The switch is vulnerable to nine high-severity vulns and a further five medium-rated ones, said NCC Group IT security consultant Manuel Ginés Rodriquez in a damning blog post about his findings.
Security researchers have identified multiple vulnerabilities in ProSAFE Plus JGS516PE and GS116Ev2 business switches from Netgear, the most severe of which could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. A total of 15 vulnerabilities affecting Netgear switches that use the ProSAFE Plus configuration utility were found to expose users to various risks, according to researchers with IT security firm NCC Group.
