1 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Item.......2007-02-06

My company, L3 Communications, purchsed 2 FVs338's through amazon to provide a VPN/Firewall to connect two locations via the open internet. Using a bench setup with the FVS338's connected through a hub, the VPN/firewall shut down after about 5 minutes, requiring me to power cycle both 338's to restart. A web search showed that others have encountered this and related problems. The NETGEAR web site suggests a command line procedure to change the timeout values. I did as suggested -- it had no effect. I really would like to give it zero stars.

2 out of 5 stars Support lacking.......2007-01-04

Overall the product is decent, handles load well. The main problem is getting support for the VPN portion. I have numerous calls in and have bounced around the support queue for some time. When I have a few hours free I will try again, until then...no VPN for me.

4 out of 5 stars Actually meets advertised specifications!.......2006-04-03

I have several of the FVS338's in place. They keep up a stable VPN between several sites and are easy to configure.

Problem is that I can't get the Netgear VPN client to work with it. (That is why I only gave it 4 stars). There are no updates for the client, and Netgear support is just plain incompetent in this area.

The reason I gave this such high marks is the throughput is 10Mb +, the VPN is easy to set up between routers, it is stable and best of all.. THE PRICE IS RIGHT!

I would not buy this router. As I am on my second one from Netgear and it still having issues. This router will not stay up and it drops the internet connection every day. Please buy something else or you're be sorry like I am.
