Netgear

Routers are the most intelligent of these three pieces of hardware. They are normally small computing devices that are designed to perform the specific job of understanding, manipulating, and directing traffic. Routers feature a user interface that allows you to instruct them where to send the traffic.

Primarily, the function of these devices is to connect two or even more, networks together and direct relevant traffic to and from them. Take, for example, your business may use routers to manage the connections between the internet and the LAN. So that the traffic can be distributed to computers within the LAN, you could connect the routers to switches or even hubs.

Hubs are, in contrast with the above, the least intelligent of the devices. These serve as connection points for computers and other peripheral devices like printers etc. within a LAN. Hubs simply pass the traffic it receives along to computers that are connected to them.

Switches are not as intelligent as routers but more intelligent than hubs. Switches are the connection points for computers and other devices within your network. Switches are more effective at directing the traffic along. They record computer addresses into a table and when traffic comes through the switches, they read the destination addresses and send the traffic directly to the appropriate computers, rather than to all computers connected to the network.

You may know why you should choose Netgear products, but you still be wondering what you should buy from PMC Telecom. There are important reasons why we have maintained our position as leaders within the telephony industry, our commitment to quality, and customer satisfaction. We are careful when selecting the items we sell on our site because we want our customers to be satisfied, so we only pick products we believe in and would use ourselves.
Netgear networking hardware is the perfect example. Netgear makes high-performance, but also user-friendly equipment that novices and experts alike can use.

Netgear and PMC Telecom share other things in common – we are both committed to providing products that are suitable for all levels of users. We know, as our customer base is a very diverse selection of individuals and businesses, that not everyone needs the same hardware or has the same budget to spend on said hardware.

That is why, at PMC Telecom, you will notice that we stock Netgear products at as low prices as £21.95 excluding VAT and as high as £895 excluding VAT. Obviously, the high ticket items are not for everyone and most home users will not get any real benefit from investing in those.

Likewise, businesses may want to avoid the smaller and cheaper models.

However, the bottom line is, that there is hardware like routers, switches, and hubs for all budgets.

It’s what we’re here for. Seriously, though. We completely understand that if you are new to the world of networking, using routers, switches, and hubs, whether a business customer or a home user, it can be very nerve-racking and frustrating trying to find the right piece of equipment for your needs. That’s why we encourage you to contact us with any questions or queries you may have about this or any of the other gear we offer.

Our team are waiting to hear from you and are very knowledgeable about our product catalogue and Netgear equipment. It is very easy to contact us too.
