@Dion07,

You will not lose anything that you currently need with the FVS318Gv2.

Hi Dion07,

I believe you are referring to the FVS318Gv2. Its product code in North America is FVS318G-200NAS.

About IPSec VPN, here are the differences:

a. The FVS318Gv2 has a VPN throughput of 30Mbps while the SRXN3205 has a VPN throughput of 20Mbps.

b. The FVS318Gv2 supports 12 dedicated VPN tunnels while the SRXN3205 supports 5 dedicated VPN tunnels.

If you are looking for other ProSAFE VPN Firewall as alternative to the FVS318Gv2, you may check on the FVS336Gv3, FVS318N and SRX5308. See their specifications and comparison here.

DaneA Yes, I am currently looking at the FVS318G-200NAS.
I currently have the SRXN3205 and wanted to verify that the FVS318G-200NAS (or FVS318Gv2) would be a viable replacement as I am not 100% sure and would like a second opinion. :)

  Let me also inform you that if you purchased the FVS318Gv2, it is bundled with a VPN Lite Client software that has 1 Lite license key included for free. You can use this in setting up a client-to-box VPN. For more information, kindly read this article.

    What I was wanting to verify was that the new Netgear would be able to do the same things that my current one does.
    IE: I would not lose anything that I am currently needing in order to use the VPN site to site connection.
