NetGear FVS124G

Manageable DUAL WAN VPN Firewall with Gigabit LAN Ports
Extend enterprise class protection, performance, and reliability to
remote office workers. The ProSafe Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS124G provides
provides powerful yet economical security for businesses coping with the
increasing performance demands and complexities of intra-LAN network
protection. Dual 10/100 WAN ports let you connect a second link to your
ISP or headquarters office, providing failover protection. A Stateful
Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, 3DES and 256-bit AES encryption, IPSec
support, and up to 25 IPSec VPN tunnels assures safe network computing.

Featuring two 10/100 Mbps WAN ports and four Gigabit LAN ports, advanced
networking features like QoS and dynamic routing, the ProSafe Dual WAN
Gigabit Firewall Router is ideal for your growing network. Management
capabilities through SNMP or web browser minimize on-site support
requirements. NETGEAR’s timesaving VPN Wizard and SmartWizard™ simplify
setup and VPN administration. Big company features at small company
prices–that’s NETGEAR value!

High Reliability
Gigabit power for mission critical networks requiring high bandwidth
availability. Dual WAN ports for maximum Internet connectivity. You can
use both ports at the same time, and let the router balance your
office’s requirements between them for maximum bandwidth efficiency.

Fast Performance
Get high-speed performance. Four auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN ports
offer gigabit connectivity, creating high-speed links for servers and
workstations—or, use it as a backbone for high-speed switches.
Hardware-based encryption offloads the router CPU, accelerating your VPN
connections.

Strong Security
The powerful SPI firewall protects your network against unauthorized
users, and most common Internet attacks, such as Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks. Virtual Private Network Consortium (VPNC) tested and certified
VPN supports secure data connectivity and transmission over the Internet
and ensures interoperability with many other popular security products.
Address, service, protocol, URL keyword filtering, and port/service
blocking offer additional protection. E-mail updates and alerts notify
you of all activity and hacker attempts. Single user ProSafe VPN Client
software included VPN01L. Additional licenses available for purchase.

Easy to Use
Smart Wizard speeds and simplifies installation. VPN Wizard creates a
single set of policies allowing up to 253 remote PCs or remote sites to
connect from locations in which their IP addresses are unknown in
advance. The ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall Router can be remotely
monitored and administered using most popular SNMP-based management
software packages, such as the NETGEAR ProSafe Network Management
Software (NMS100). Support for DHCP (client and server) as well as PPPoE
allows for easy, widespread deployment. NETGEAR’s tested and proven
technology is backed by a 3-year warranty.
