Panasonic Picks Netgear for Routers

Panasonic has chosen Netgear as the official provider of broadband routers to its Viera networked TVs.

The Neargear N600 dual-USB wi-fi router ($80) will be the first Panasonic-designated one. Its Push 'N' Connect will allow easy setup with the TV. Viewers may then enjoy Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Picasa, and other Viera Cast web features. The router's spec sheet says it is suitable for "larger home or multiple floors."
