Renowned for its robust security features, the FVL328 is designed to protect sensitive data while providing seamless connectivity for remote users. By leveraging advanced technologies, this firewall ensures secure, reliable access to corporate resources.

One of the standout features of the FVL328 is its built-in virtual private network (VPN) functionality. Supporting up to 20 concurrent VPN connections, the device utilizes both IPSec and L2TP protocols, offering secure tunneling for remote workers. This capability is critical for businesses looking to maintain data integrity while allowing users to access the network from various geographical locations.

The FVL328 integrates a stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall, which monitors both incoming and outgoing traffic to provide robust protection against unauthorized access and cyber threats.

Additionally, the device includes denial of service (DoS) attack protection, further enhancing its security repertoire.

In terms of connectivity, the FVL328 boasts multiple Ethernet ports, allowing for flexible network design and integration with existing infrastructure. The router features four 10/100 Mbps LAN ports and one WAN port, accommodating various networking needs.

The device also supports remote management, enabling administrators to configure and manage the network without being physically present.

To complement its advanced technologies, the FVL328 offers various other features, including DHCP server capabilities, Network Address Translation (NAT), and a built-in DynDNS client for dynamic IP management. These characteristics help businesses optimize their network performance while simplifying IP address management.

In summary, the NETGEAR FVL328 is a versatile and secure broadband VPN firewall perfect for businesses that require reliable internet connectivity and robust security measures.
