Hardware reviews wanted: Netgear ProSafe FVS318G Firewall and Dell PowerConnect 2824 switch
Posted on 2010-08-23
I am ordering some networking gear for a business who will have an SBS2008 installation in place with 5 clients and now exchange (will grow into that role). One of the folks who speced out a budget for the project identified a firewall for the Perimeter defense and for VPN capabilities. I would like some opinions on the model and also possible replacements. I am handing over the maintenance of this network and will need a router/firewall that does VPN but can be managed via a GUI. The model in question is: Netgear ProSafe FVS318G, ALso need an unmanaged switch with 24 port minimum and wanted opinions on the Dell PowerConnect 2824 switch.
Thanks

I am more of a watchguard fan on the firewall and i would look at netgear switches they have a life time warranty.

What support options are available on the Watchgard XTM-21? Also what are the VPN capabilities? Do you use a software client to initiate the tunnel?

Just installed a Netgear FVS318G last weekend, drops the connection at least once a day. Prior to this until they'd had no disconnections for 2 years, using two different routers before. There are a ton of posts on Netgear's site about this unit. I'm going with something else. Just my 2 cents.
