Worth the effort...
 
While researching this product, I found many, many negative reviews. But, in the end, being able to get a Netgear VPN, firewall, router and wireless capability for 100 dollars less than buying the VPN and wireless access point separately was too much to pass up. As I have often found with networking (especially wireless) products, the underlying issue of the large number of negative reviews is people's lack of understanding of networking and/or inability to properly configure the device. In t...

Not a VPN solution
 
I wasted my money on these boxes as a remote office communication solution. Each appliance went down many times a day. Most often the appliance would simply reboot. I finally purchased a linksys solution for 2.5x the price. I will know if that solution works in a week or so.

Careful with the firmware upgrade
 
I would have given this product a 5 across the board except for 2 things. I tried to download and update to the lastest firmware, V 2.1.2-40 but it rendered the device inoperable. I couldn't even get into the management interface through a cable connection. I have to say Netgear tech support was very good at working me through the issue. I actually bought 2 of these and had the exact same problem with both, so I feel it has to be the firmware. The firmware back out process is very flaky. O...

Awesome product
 
Great value for a router/firewall/wireless G box. Does a great job and is very configurable/reliable.

Needs to be rebooted periodically
 
This is the only thing that stops me from giving it a score of 5 all the way around. It seems that about once a week or so, any one of my computers/laptops/workstations stops being able to communicate with it. The problem is solved by just powering down the unit & then turning it back on. Because it does this with different machines inconsistently, I am led to believe that maybe it is a flaky BIOS, or something along that line. Nonetheless, if you need more than 4 ports (as I do), then this is a...
