New global, tiered program designed to simplify how partners do business with NETGEAR delivers richer rewards, stronger enablement, and streamlined support for integrators, MSPs, and VARs serving small and medium enterprises.<\/em><\/p>\n

November 4, 2025 \u2013 SAN JOSE, Calif. <\/strong>\u2013 NETGEAR\u00ae Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global leader in intelligent networking solutions designed to power extraordinary experiences, today introduced the NETGEAR Drive Partner Success Program, a reimagined global partner program built to strengthen collaboration, simplify engagement, and expand enablement for channel partners.<\/p>\n

The new program aligns with NETGEAR\u2019s increased enterprise focus, making it easier and more rewarding for integrators, managed service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs) to grow with NETGEAR through streamlined tools, enhanced support and expanded go-to-market resources.<\/p>\n

This launch marks the latest milestone in NETGEAR Enterprise\u2019s evolution under the leadership of President and GM Pramod Badjate and advances the company\u2019s mission to deliver simplicity, reliability and cost-effectiveness for small and medium enterprises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of our Drive Partner Success Program is simple: make it easier for our partners to succeed and grow,\u201d<\/i> said Badjate. \u201cPartners are the center of everything we do, and Drive will equip them with the tools, training, and support they need to accelerate business opportunities and revenue growth.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

The NETGEAR Drive Partner Success Program consists of three tiers \u2014 IGNITE, APEX, and APEX MSP \u2014 tailored to different partner service capabilities and business models. Each tier delivers benefits based on partner investment as demonstrated through customer impact and testimonials, as well as completion of training and certification milestones.<\/p>\n

Program Benefits<\/h2>\n

NETGEAR Drive is built to accelerate profitability and sustainable growth, rewarding partners for service excellence and long-term co-investment. \u00a0Its tiered structure helps partners stand out in a competitive market and align more closely with customer needs, delivering exceptional value and expertise.<\/p>\n

In addition to rewards, partners also gain access to co-investment opportunities, comprehensive training, marketing materials, collaborative campaigns, partner-focused technical support, and certifications that simplify selling NETGEAR\u2019s business-class products. A new, dedicated partner portal further enhances self-service capabilities and streamlines program access.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n

To ensure a consistent global experience, NETGEAR Drive will roll out worldwide, giving all partners access to the new Partner Portal with the latest portfolio, technical information, and sales and marketing resources. Partners can continue transacting under existing program terms during the transition to ensure a smooth and seamless onboarding experience.<\/p>\n

NETGEAR Drive Partner Success Program training materials and certification content will be available starting today, with new partner pricing and program benefits. Existing NETGEAR partners will transition to the new program by January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
