Requires frequent re-boots. Lower cost consumer grade routers are more reliable than this unit! True ProSafe should have excelent out of the box quality (should work) and not require additional...
Netgear is undoubtedly best know for its consumer networking products but its ProSafe router lineup aims to provide businesses with that little bit more in terms of features and security options....
I am a Netgear fan. I have a lot of equipment in my home, and have always found Netgear to be a reliable brand that just works! I had a fvs318 that worked great for years, but could not keep up...
I bought this product 2 years ago. I really wanted to like it. It had a lot of features I wanted, dual wan ports, VPN, etc. but this thing really sucks. I have 8 years experience as a network...
It lacks some features, like a command-line dump of its configuration (it uses a proprietary binary format) and some routing features; but it works, and is cheap. We had problems with the...
I have used the the FVS318 for several years but needed the improved performance that the FVS338 was touted to have. I ordered three to connect our 3 offices together and have not been...
The FVS338 out of the box should work! This is important for professionals! Can not make a profit making multiple trips to customer location because of defective equipment. I don't beleive this...

Buy only if browsing the web...everything else crashes it
The only stable firmware for this product is the 1.01 version. All subsequent firmware releases (1.06, 1.10) are unstable. The nat does not clean up unused tcp connections and will die under heavy...
I have 4 of these, one has been running for several years. No problems at all. These front our Internet connection, and we do not use them as switches, just firewalls. That means we have the...
Purchased one of these for a client and had the same stability problems mentioned in other reviews here. Upgraded the firmware to the latest version and still had issues. Finally talked to...
I installed 3 Netgear FVS336G's to replace 3 more expensive Cisco ASA's that did not offer the features the Netgear FVS336G does. The router is a stable and reliable SSL router with excellent...
"VPN doesn't support 64-bit OS... like Vista or Win XP"
If you want to support newer PCs with 64-bit operating systems (such as systems with 4GB RAM or more), then I'd avoid the current set of Netgear VPN products.
It was difficult to configure even with 8 hours of phone support and a unnecessary RMA. It lacks key features of a competitors product, like load balancing, web control via Firefox (a number of...
There are a lot of positive attributes to this product. First, if you're renting your DSL modem this will save you money every month. It's great if you're looking for an easy to set up home network...
Just purchased this item to replace my rented Qwest Actionec DSL modem but will not work on Qwest. I contacted Netgear Tech support, which is out-sourced to India, and they said the BG834Gv4...
If this were a beauty contest, Netgear's DG834G would easily win due to its Mac-like looks. Beneath this exterior however, the Netgear is even more appealing. This is thanks in part to its cleanly...
It's a sign of the times that 802.11n has taken so long to limp towards ratification that there is a fair amount of Draft-n hardware on sale that is getting rather long in the tooth. That's not to...
Pros: Wireless range Cons: Price, Low quality I've used Netgear products for years and purchased this router when I found I needed to increase the range of my wireless connectivity, even though it...
Pros: Easy to use, compatibility, automated set up. Cons: Price, I use it with comcast cable and it was so easy to set up. I heard that many routers can't handle well comcast, but this one it did...
This particular model is great. Right now I have three, one as an access point and two as clients for XBOX and HTPC. If I ever need another client Ill buy this model for sure. Search for WGT624...
This router is easy to set up and works great. But every now and then it drops the connection between the computer and the router if you are inactive. When you put your computer on standby it's not...
The Netgear WGT624 108Mbps wireless firewall router is a good example of the advantages and disadvantages of bleeding-edge technology. It offers nearly double the throughput of standard 802.11g...
Pros: Good range, supports my xbox live well, Cons: setup cd sucked The only problem I have had with it at all is setting it up. It took us about 2 hours. I agree with the guy that said go to...
I replaced a broken Linksys WRT54G with this thing, touted by the Best Buy guys (and CNET) as a pretty fast router. It's not. Even the one computer in my house that was hardwired to the router...
Was great for a year. My son got a Mac Book Pro for college and once he used the IM program, port forwarding no longer works. I have a Linksys NAS unit with a built in FTP server that also has a...
For most casual and demanding users, the Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router is an all-around excellent option. The adaptive internal antennas that compensate for interference provide great...
Pros: Blazing fast, I can go anywhere in a 2 story house Cons: Hard to set up, terrible compatibility, even worse tech support/customer service If I would've known setting up this router...
Pros: Features were good. Signal strong. Cons: Not reliable and poor firmware resolution. II don't know what is wrong with it. It used to be alright, but now it has to be reset whenever my...
Pros: fast, easy to set up, long range Cons: poor tech support based in India I got one of these, had all kinds of odd trouble. Then I found out the problem wasn't the router but my older...
This Netgear print server was bought when I started using Vista 64 Bit on a laptop and desktop computer. I used an ancient Linksys WPS54GU2, USB and parallel port wireless G print server for around...
It looks great - sleek modern design and all. Straightforward and simple setup went smoothly. My need for this device was as a wireless ethernet bridge - I did not need or test any USB printer...
I had hard time configuring my Lexmark E238 and Canon MP530. You could not configure this router alone unless you are an expert in this field. However, be careful the technical support is only for...
I had to call tech support once but it was quick and something that I should have figured out on my own. The only draw back that I have noticed is that I can no longer check my ink levels through...
Network appliances for the small office/home office (SOHO) sector should offer low cost and easy administration. Netgear's FWG114P multifunction appliance meets both these criteria and offers extra...

Worst Router - Netgear awefull in support buy something else!
This is the worst router I have ever owned or used. It frequently drops packets and will not function with VOIP. Buy another router from a more reputable company that stands behind their product....
I just setup one, and having setup larger Firewalls (NetGear and not NetGear), this seems to be a pretty good deal for your money, specially if you want gigabit and have under 25 computers....
FVS124G, Great VPN features, make sure you READ the specs

"Good, reliable router. Use of VPN firewall is difficult."
I use this box to provide a LAN for my home computers, and to connect to Cable modem for internet. It works very well. The installation is reasonably straightforward. The only feature it is...
This is a pretty good unit. Our company uses these units to maintain a VPN connection between offices, and to our clients. They always seem to do a great job keeping a connection... It seems we...
BEWARE - Used to love it until I got a faster internet connection
I have had this for years (the v3), it has run solid as a rock. Setting up static IP routes for Network storage and network printers is a breeze, I used reserved IPs for almost everything on my...
This router is nothing but slow. If you look at Netgears website and the technical specifications, which aren't listed on the box. This router supports a maximum LAN to WAN throughput of 12.5Mbps...

I ordered this router to replace a WGR614 as my network was upgraded to include a server. Surprise surprise! It wouldn't accept admin logins from IE7 or Firefox on a computer running XP and IE7....
Conceded, I have only had the device a day, but either it works or it doesn't, right? Set-up was pretty straight-forward following along with the wizard, which I didn't need, but made things easy...
The wireless signal range on this netgear is twice that of the D-link DI-624 I had before. The signal reaches my laptop across double brick walls from one corner of the house to the backyard...
"Deceptive beauty by a sneaky company (BBB-rated "F")"
The router has good signal strength and range -when it works. When it does not, most of the time, you deal with TERRIBLE technical support and TERRIBLE customer service. Worse: the company acted...

Have used this router for 5 years and had very good performance. Netgear service also helped me when I had a problem with Windows XP networking. One down side is that the throughput is limited to...
