Negative Positive
Title: Requires some expertise to administer
Review: Some knowledge of networking concepts is required to properly administer the Netgear FVS318 VPN router, particularly when paired with a Motorola Surfboard cable modem.The FVS318 is unable to pull new IP leases on its own when set to DHCP (which is the common set-up for most home users). Every 3-5 days, the user must manually release and renew the router's IP from their cable-ISP. While this is not particularly a difficult task, it is a tedious task which, in a perfect world, should not be necessary.Current firmware upgrades (as of June, 2005) do not address this issue.
