Network World has a nice Q & A with Netgear's chairman and CEO, on the heels of the August IPO: The story is a bit all over the place but has a couple of useful tidbits. Netgear's chairman and CEO says the company has an advantage over Linksys because Netgear is independent—it can move faster and won't suck resources from a parent company.
But it may not be moving fast enough, seeing as Netgear plans to introduce a WLAN switch early next year, a bit behind the pack. The CEO also says that 60 percent to 70 percent of Netgear's product line will have wireless built-in within 18 months.
