FVX538 v2 - Looking for new replacement
I manage a small biz router FVX538 v2.
We are looking to upgrade. What I am looking for is a replacement router that has the same features/capabilities as our current FVX538 v2.
Can someone point me to the newer model? I do not need wireless and it is prefered that wireless NOT be a feature. :o)
JohnC_V What about the Insight BR500 router?

Hi Dookie_Brown,
Welcome to our community! :)
Unfortunately, NETGEAR has stopped producing firewalls. We still don't have any update if it will be continued.

OK, so I will look at the BR500.
One of the firewall features we need is the ability to granularly open SMTP ports to the WAN/Internet but only ALLOW it to talk to a specific IP on the internet on said SMTP ports.
We don't want the SMTP ports open to the inet world, just one mail server on the internet.
Also need the dual WAN ports to donfigure failover/take over if a WAN connection goes dead.

Yeah, you're right about that. It is a new VPN router, but it is not a newer model of FVX538v2. Dookie_Brown you can try to give a look on the new Insight BR500 router.
Regards,
