FVS318G total garbage
So to make my point realize I have taken the time to create an account on this site to tell you that your products are crap.
Your engineers design and your staff markets total garbage to business class buyers.
Your products are a joke. You design toys, toys that even a home consumer should not buy.
So I should run my business so that some one on staff has to spend time resetting our frigging _router_ to the factory defaults every day? These things are toasters, should be always working always reliable. Its a frigging router not a Bolshoi ballerina FFS. How did you get this wrong? And then charge the premium for "business use".
My FVS318Gv2, fully upgraded, looses the ability to respond to internet queries, it does this at least once a day, it was weekly now more frequent; cycle power, reset to defaults, rinse repeat until it functions.
Simply routing around the damn thing works like a charm so it is your **bleep** product and not a "you are doing it wrong" thing.
I wonder if there is a class action lawsuit in the works for you. Netgear was great, it is now a joke.

Welcome to smb products by any manufacturer. Considering the bulletproof ones (enterprise grade) with the same features cost almost 10x as much as these, it's a bit of a gamble that a lot of times can pay off. We moved our main router to one of the enterprise grade ones, but left the smbones we have as vpn endpoints. Once we've configured around the smb routers' quirks, they pack a great price/performance ratio. But the tinkering time is not factored into that 'price'.
