NETGEAR Inc. introduced a new broadband VPN Firewall router. The FVS318 Cable/DSL ProSafe VPN Firewall router offers eight 10/100 switch ports, 8 VPN tunnels, advanced security features and a first of its kind smart wizard web utility that helps ease the configuration of its firewall capabilities. The full firewall feature set and breakthrough price makes this the best cost effective router on the market today.

The router can initiate up to eight Internet Protocol Security based (IPSec-based) VPN tunnels. The router also has a firewall that uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) technology as well as web-based remote management. Other features include logging, reporting and alerts on Internet activity as well as URL-based content filtering to deny users access to inappropriate web sites.

The unit can support up to 253 users and includes free anti-virus and privacy PC software.

The FVS318 is available and comes with a user guide, power adapter, category 5 cable, resource CD and NETGEAR's 5-year warranty.
