I just upgraded to a DOCSIS 3.0 Modem, and upgraded my internet service with Crapcast. My FVS318 gives me about 11 Mbps download, while a direct connection from computer to the modem gives me 90 Mbps download. Time for a new firewall. I don't use the VPN capabilities, so I just need a Netgear expert to recommend a replacement that will allow me to get all the bandwidth I am paying for now.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi cerhorn,
Welcome to the community! 🙂
The FVS318 have a LAN-to-WAN throughput of just 11Mbps. You will need to have a firewall that has a LAN-to-WAN throughput greater than 90Mbps. I recommend you either of the following: FVS318Gv2, FVS318N, FVS336Gv3 or SRX5308. Kindly access the data sheet below for you to check their specifications and comparison:

Re: Recommend replacement for FVS318
Thanks - I purchased the FVS318Gv2. After hanging a few times the first day of installation, it has now been running without issues for close to 24 hours. Support says to upgrade firmware, one release at a time. I may do that if it starts acting up again, but right now its fine.
