Advantages: Good features, VPN support, 10/100 WAN port Disadvantages: Challenging documentation
Not so long ago, you were lucky to have broadband of any speed. Now broadband is getting faster with speeds of 8-10Mbps becoming more common and 24Mbps not so far away. As a result, the current generation of routers for the home or small office are starting to show a weakness - they only have a 10Mbit WAN port for connecting to your ADSL or Cable connection.
The Netgear FVS114 manages to bring a 10/100 Mbps WAN port equipped router to the party with a whole bunch of extra features. As the box proudly proclaims, it combines 8 VPN tunnels, a router, 4 port switch and SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) Firewall in to one compact device in the familiar dark blue metal case that Netgear are famous for. With support for 253 users, there's a lot of power here for the price.

The DG834G provides both WEP and WPA-PSK wireless encryption standards to protect your network from eavesdroppers and bandwidth ...
Advantages: Great performance for wireless and wired routing. Great firewall Disadvantages: Expensive, lots of reboots for configuration, can't turn off radios.

Recently, the best innovation in networking award at Tom's Hardware Guide was awarded to the NETGEAR FWAG114 Broadband ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPNFirewall. The majority of respondents in their recent online reader's survey chose this device for the accolade probably because it seems to be the perfect wireless router -or at least the best you can get now. So, to see what was so great about it, and because I wanted a new wireless router with more bandwidth to satisfy greater demands for multimedia streaming I chose this one. Admittedly, I had chosen this router before it got the award and had been using it for a while, but to see if it was really as good as it claims, I decided to put it ...
