As Netgear grew along with the market it helped to create, control over the company changed hands. Netgear, with Lo continuing to serve as its chief executive officer, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nortel, remaining as such until , when Nortel announced it was spinning off the subsidiary. The company by this point sold a full range of networking equipment, offering a product line that Lo hoped would attract investors as well as customers.
Netgear sold firewall-equipped network routers designed to snap into place behind dial-up modems. For customers who had high-speed Internet connections, which were becoming increasingly more commonplace, Netgear sold digital subscriber line DSL and cable modems, which could be used with the company's hubs and network cards to link multiple computers to the home or office network.
Netgear's telephone-line networking products were capable of building megabits-per-second links using existing telephone wiring and jacks. The collapse of the Internet sector dashed Lo's plan for going public, forcing him to withdraw his bid officially in February and to wait for market conditions to improve. When Lo revisited the idea of ushering Netgear through an IPO, his decision created a stir of anticipation not only in the networking community but within the investment community as well.
During the first four months of , companies converted to public ownership, a figure that dropped to 24 for the January-to-April period in , and fell to four during the four months leading up to Lo's announcement. Lo's decision to push forward with an IPO in April was made during the slowest period of IPO activity since , making Netgear's public debut a bellwether of investor reaction as the market recovered from the dotcom debacle at the turn of the century.
As the company embarked on a new era of existence, it faced a slew of competitors. Robotics, and more. As Netgear pressed ahead as a publicly traded company, the battle for market share promised to occupy its attention in the coming years. The company ranked third in the market, trailing industry leader Linksys and runner-up D-Link Systems.
