I have two netgear routers both fvs318v1's, both have firmware v2.4. I'm having a lot of difficulty trying to connect these two devices and bring up an active vpn tunnel. They are both behind NATs and I've forwarded ports udp 500 and 4500 at both ends. my first question is: when setting up these devices does one have to be a client and one a gateway? or should they both be configured as gateway? or both as clients? nothings works. I've read about connecting them straight to the internet modem but don't want to do that at this stage. and I'm aware these devices are old but they should still work.
secondly: how does one get hold of the netgear vpn client software and get it up and running? I downloaded NETGEARVPNClientPro_Setup_V6.40.004.zip and installed it, it asked me to register for a license key but when I clicked the link to register I got 'page not found'. should I go for an earlier version? and if so which one is suitable to connect to the FVS318?
I've been stuck on this for days so thanks for any advice.

If you are going to create a site-to-site VPN on both FVS318s, you may need to use both as gateway and for the VPN Client software, may I know if you do have a license key?
