 Worst Router - Netgear awefull in support buy something else! August 19, 2008
This is the worst router I have ever owned or used. It frequently drops packets and will not function with VOIP. Buy another router from a more reputable company that stands behind their product. Their answer is always to blame someone else and not admit they made a horrible product.
Think carefully before purchasing this product - NETGEAR has stated it is End Of Life March 20, 2008

Purchased this recently and wanted support for it not updating to daylight savings time correctly. Was told by support that the product is End of Life and limited support.
"Hello my name is Herbert and the daylight saving time was changed last year is when it went into affect. Starting one month early. Unfortunately the FVG124G is now End Of Life and no new firmware updates will be made to the product. In fact the FVG124G has limited support available.

 2008 seems really good February 7, 2008
I just setup one, and having setup larger Firewalls (NetGear and not NetGear), this seems to be a pretty good deal for your money, specially if you want gigabit and have under 25 computers....
Abandon and dump this product December 23, 2007

We've had this unit for two years now and gone through the numerous software patches. It was an expensive unit to start with but has the features required.
It has proven to be a long term dog and drain on the network. We have a broadband download pipe of 100Mbps in Singapore and with a direct modem connection we achieve regular speeds of 77-80mbps.
When same computer is routed through the FVS124G the internal software of the device kills capacity to a slow 6mpbs which is just unacceptable.
We've tried Netgear support and no luck there so recommendation to other users is save the hassle and buy an appropriate other router.

GREAT with latest firmware October 1, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had some issues at first but is now GREAT with latest firmware. I used this for load balance with two internet connections. It has done all I have asked from it. Has the ability to set both connections rules separately. This way I could have it always use one of the connections for said port (or ip address) and block it on the other. Also has a GREAT ability to monitor bandwidth and stop using one of the connections when you reach said limit. Gigabit a plus for local data transfers!
