Regardless, the device answering the specifications and operating properly. However, some details are a little painful.
First, the VPN: If the configuration of a tunnel on the router is easy with the wizard on the client using the supplied software Netgear (Security Policy Editor), is something else. It is true that these days when it's too simple, there's no fun, but finally good, it was still nice that when creating the basic VPN configuration on the router, client software offers Default good config to connect. There, not only the assistance is minimal (look for the Netgear tutorial on the internet), but in addition, there are many fields with default values must be changed. In addition, the software design has not been seen since Louis XIII and some bugs will tickle your nerves to intensify the enjoyment when finally it works.
To return to the device itself, Firewall functions works well, too bad to create one of the LAN group is obliged to give the MAC addresses. If I set a rule for an IP group, I care a machine exchange network card (MAC address so) if it keeps the same IP I wanted to keep the same rule without changing anything.
Stability side, I had a small freeze after one week, but for 2 months, all is well.
Overall, the web interface is quite functional even if the ergonomics sometimes approaches the treasure hunt.
The initialization sequence is a bit long (about 70 sec.).
Finally, the FVS318G is a product that does not have all the qualities of a great, but a semi-professional level for a consumer price.
