High Performance. Manageable Dual WAN Security Firewall
At the heart of your office network, NETGEAR's high performance security appliance,
ProSafe™ VPN Firewall 200 offers a complete security solution for small
and medium sized companies. This rack-mountable, Stateful Packet Inspection
(SPI) firewall is equipped with support for up to 200 security associations
(VPN tunnels). The FVX538 can serve as a DHCP Server, supports Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), Quality of Service (QoS) and has a powerful SPI
firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most common Internet attacks.
Featuring eight auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps LAN ports, one Gigabit LAN port and
two 10/100 WAN ports, the ProSafe VPN Firewall FVX538 lets multiple computers
in your office share two Internet connections. The dual WAN ports let you connect
a second Internet line as a backup to insure that you're never disconnected.
Or, use both Internet ports at the same time, and let the router balance your
office's requirements between them for maximum bandwidth efficiency. One LAN
port can be dedicated as a hardware DMZ port for safely providing services to
the Internet without compromising security on your LAN.
With enterprise-class 90+ Mbps firewall and up to 100 Mbps VPN throughput,
the FVX538 is an ideal headquarter security solution for companies that need
rock solid network protection and fast, secure VPN access for remote employees
and branch offices at a cost-effective price point. NETGEAR's timesaving VPN
Wizard and SmartWizard™ simplify setup and VPN administration. Includes,
at no extra cost, the ProSafe VPN Client software 5-user license, a $150 value.

I tested this fireall on my business network before I decided to try it on clients. I have not been disappointed yet in its performance. I have installed this firewall at 4 customer sites and they rock! I recommend that before you put it in a production network update the firmware thats the only issue I see.

Detailed Features
A Clsoer Look
Richer Security
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. The FVX538 also employs the Cavium
Networks NITROX security processor to offload the CPU for near wire-speed VPN
throughput and blazing fast tunnel setup. Future firmware upgrades will support
anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-spyware policy enforcement, a robust intrusion
detection system (IDS) as well as the option to use SSL VPN.
Capacity To Spare
Dual WAN ports support two broadband connections. A second WAN port supports
an additional broadband connection. This second WAN connection may be configured
as a failover connection in case the primary connection fails or can be used
to balance the workload by distributing traffic across the two connections for
optimal per user bandwidth.
Superior Value and Usability
Competitively priced and SNMP manageable, convenient VPN Wizard gathers basic
information about your networks and recommends a VPN solution with supporting
instructions. Optimized for NETGEAR's ProSafe VPN Client software - a five user
license is included.
