Current Prosafe VPN firewalls end-of-life?
Have seen some other posters say that support has told them the current FVS devices are end of life (FVS318Gv2, FVS336Gv3, SRX5308)? Is this confirmed? Are there plans for a refresh? My current c...

Hi,
as far as I know, all Netgear VPN and UTM Firewalls are End of Life. I'm Netgear Powershift partner and the only information I have is that Netgear support told me that they have no information if there will be future products in this hardware category.
I'm still waiting for an official statement from my Netgear partner contact person. As soon as I know something I will let you know...
Yeah, I knew the UTM devices were EOL, and I had figured for a while that the VPN firewalls would be up next. They haven't received any substantial updates in a long while.
I wonder if the backstory on the VPNs is the same as the UTMs; "it's too haaard" ;)
Netgear should at least take the VPN routers off their website if they are no longer selling them. And maybe tell their dealers too? Amazon says shipping in 1 to 2 months.
Hi to all,
There is no official announcement that the NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewalls are EOL (End-of-Life).

Hi DaneA,
maybe Netgear doesn't want to pronounce it at this time.
Sorry in advance but from my point of view (as a Netgear Powershift Partner), secretiveness is not the right path. I got some other information from our Netgear country manager and Netgear support. Support told me that these products are all EOL and at the moment there is no replacement planned. After explanation about the PPPoE problem from this post to our country manager about the statement from Netgear Support that there will be no future firmware due to EOL, he said that he had the fear because there are no more firewall products.
So for me it's pretty clear that I have to deal with it and I have to look for another solution for me and my customers.
Regards
Thanks for sharing the information you got. In order for this concern about whether the NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall product line is EOL or not, I have already inquired this to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support for confirmation. I will post in this thread as soon as I get a feedback.

Any updates? It's been almost a month.
I'm getting tired of the DNS falling over when its not supposed to. With no prospect of a software update, I've got to start looking at other vendors.
