BR500 - SHA2?
Just looked at the datasheet for the newly-released BR500 VPN router:
https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/security/BR500.pdf
One glaring omission; SHA2 in the VPN algorithms. The highest hashing algorithm listed is SHA-1.
Surely this device supports SHA2 family hashes? (256,384,512). Yes?
(by the way, your forum does not offer the BR500 as an item in the "Model" field for new posts.)

Re: BR500 - SHA2?
Hi @train_wreck,
I inquired your post to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support. As per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support, the Insight Mesh VPN supports 521 bits ECDSA keys, AES-256-CTR + HMAC-SHA256.
