But Netgear still supports (and produces and sells) the NV+ a unit that is rapidly approaching it's 5th birthday. I have an Infrant NV+, and when it was announced that Netgear was purchasing Infrant only a few months after I bought mine, I was concerned. But for the next several years, I never really thought much about it as the NV+ just kept plugging along, runing 24/365 without the least problem and I never had to touch Frontview. Then I started taking steps to increase the network speed, and then purchased an NVX to increase the NAS speed. When I started looking at NAS device, while I casually looked at other brands, my serious consideration was the Netgear ReadyNAS line and all the new boxes that had appeared under the label of Netgear.
In setting up my NVX, I had to use Frontview for the first time in years, and still found it very functional although not the fanciest interface. Again, once I had the NVX set up, Frontview was again ignored.
Today, I generally log on to Frontview to answer the question of someone on the forum. To me, Frontview is kind of like the BIOS interface on my PC except Frontview does look better. I mean, once it is set up and functioning, you don't need to access it. If you were in it as much as you were on your browser, then the looks may be an issue, but unless your changing a setting, you are not in it.
