Don't bother for gaming or torrents
Daily reboots, and when torrenting... forget it. Can't download CentOS or Ubuntu without rebooting router 2 to 3 times.
Forget about it
I bought it because I wanted to upgrade my network to gbit all through and because I wanted a better firewall with more options. But after two weeks I have now given up. The WAN-LAN connection is lost at random times. In average about two times a day (it may depend on the load).
I contacted support, which offered me a beta-version of the coming firmware. With that it may not freeze quiet as often (maybe only once a day). On the other hand it also reduced the speed of the Internet-connection with more than 50%.
I dont think this joke should be used in a live system. :-(
Not for P2P and torrents. Unreliable. Level 1 support useless.
I have been battling this Netgear FVS318g for three of months. The product either self resets or locks up completely forcing a manual reset. I have received a couple of firmware upgrades from Netgear, but this has not helped. I have now given up and returned the product. After 90 days Netgear wants to charge you for more support on a product that has obvious firmware defects. They dropped me like a hot potato on day 91in mid stream even with an unsolved open warranty issue. Buyer beware!!! Purchased the Cisco RVS4000 gigabit VPN router and all my network problems and headaches are gone.
Freezes all the time
I agree with Bob. Gerry has the one good model of this device produced. I have had this product for four months. The first month it froze a few times. By the fourth month it freezes and needs to be reset at least once a day. It is not an early production model and the software is up to date.
Do not buy
This Product is Defective
Well I guess Gerry below hit the lottery and found the one FVS318G that actually works. I've had mine installed on a home network for three weeks and it has failed five or six times. Probably would be more, but I couldn't reset it every time it failed as I was 1500 miles away trying to connect remotely to my home network. No problems with the UI -- just freezing up -- all lights blinking away and no access to the internet. Sometimes the WAN connection lights just go dark, even though the cable modem is blinking away. Gerrry, perhaps you can let us know which firmware version your unit operates on that actually works - mine is 3.0.6-16.
