NETGEAR FVS336G Reviewed: VPN Your Way
At the conclusion of my review on Linksys' RVL200 last month, unaware of this upcoming product, I wrote that "an SSL VPN router with gigabit LAN ports, dual WAN connections and multiple Gateway-to-Gateway tunnel capacity would be a very cool product.
Pros:
- SSL VPN Support
- Gigabit WAN and LAN ports
- Dual WAN
- Internal Power Supply
Cons:
- Dynamic DNS slow to update
- Only 1 IPsec client license included
- No DMZ functionality (future release

Netgear ProSafe Dual-WAN Gigabit SSL VPN Firewall FVS336G review
Netgear, despite its consumer roots, has been making network equipment for small and midsized businesses for years. The FVS336G, though awkwardly named, is the result of that experience; it's easy to install, easy to configure, and easy to manage.

Excellent product
Worked straight away and has continued without hitch. Good strong signal throughout the house (better than previous Netgear models). Allows as much complexity as required but is easy to understand. Excellent product.

Decent router
After about a year on DSL we switched to Fiber, 3-4 Months afterward we had to start resetting it constantly. We finally gave up when we were resetting it about every 45 minutes.
Pros:
- Nice feature set
- fairly easy to get up and running
Cons:
- Firewall rules are a little confusing, You have to setup "services" before setting up firewall rules
- Not 100% straight forward link linksys/cisco, but not hard to adapt to

Outstanding VPN capable Router

- I created a VPN gateway, and with a few minor adjustments it linked up with another VPN gateway from a different manufacturer in no...
Cons:
- Firmware is still a little buggy
- It really needs a connected devices dashboard and the ability to boot a given host among other things
- This is not a consumer device and does require at the very least a moderate networking background.

Excellent Business Router
Allows for use with both cable and DSL services with rollover. If one fails the other picks up and continues providing internet service. I use 2 of them and connect them in Gateway to Gateway VPN configuration. Works great.
Pros:
- Fast Connection Speed
- Reliable connection
- Secure Connection
Cons:
- Difficult To Set Up
