Product description

 

NETGEAR's FR314 Cable/DSL Firewall Router provides a higher level of security for small offices and affords parents the worry-free administration of their networks with true, hardware-based firewall security. Designed with Stateful Packet Inspection technology to prevent DoS attacks and malicious packets, it also provides Internet access filtering capability (based on time of day, web address, or web address keywords), high-speed Internet sharing, VPN pass-through, logging and reporting capabilities, and easy, web-based setup.

Netgear's FR314 cable/DSL Internet gateway firewall router offers integrated, hardware-based firewall protection specifically designed for sharing high-speed Internet connections in the home and small office. Designed with denial-of-service attack-prevention technology, it delivers business-level security to the home network including real-time e-mail alerts of any hacking attempt. It also provides Internet access filtering capability, allowing network administrators or parents to monitor and restrict Internet access according to content, Web page, or time of day, creating an easy-to-access report listing the Internet activity of each user.

With an Ethernet cable and integrated four-port switch, the system allows high-speed Internet sharing, virtual private network (VPN) pass-through, and easy Web-based setup. Designed for up to eight users, the FR314 firewall router can be expanded to accommodate as many as 45 users.

The router comes with a five-year warranty.

    « OK but 8 node limit is a pain »
    Fine as a firewall- seems to run without any intervention. But the 8 node limit is a complete pain and the 20 node upgrade is $$$. It is cheaper to get a seperate router, plug your network into that then use the FR314 as a firewall only and use the other router for NAT so the 314 sees only one IP address from your network.

    « Poor customer support »
    Without purchasing an additional licence this unit only supports 8 computers. When I purchased the upgrade (which cost almost as much as the unit) it did not install correctly. Support was unable to resolve the problem and level 2 support never calls back although they reply to my emails by promising to do so. More trouble than it is worth. Other routers don't have this 8 node limit. I'll not buy netgear again.
