Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Fed up being stuck in your home office, checking your email, while the rest of the family is roasting chestnuts over the living room fire? This holiday season, why not cut the wires and give your family the best gift of all -- YOU! With the 108 Mbps Wireless Router and PC Card from NETGEAR, you can take your laptop computer to the family room, the kitchen, the deck -- wherever the family is gathering to watch football and drink eggnog.

Both products feature NETGEAR's Smart Wizard that gets your network up and running in less than five clicks. Like other NETGEAR home products, they have a sleek, silvery, lightweight casing that is an attractive addition to your home decor.
