3.0 out of 5 stars Works, but can't use the default settings, February 21, 2007

By	L. D. Shaw (Georgetown, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Software is easy to configure and install, but don't assume that the default setting for the client software matches the default settings of your Netgear router. Mine did not. After about 2 hours of installing, and unistalling on the first machine, I finally figured out they were on different playing fields. Once I made that determination, the installation on other machines took less than 10 minutes each.

2.0 out of 5 stars Out of date version, October 21, 2008

By	Compuguy1 - See all my reviews

The product I recieved from Amazon was a very outdated version. It was approximately two to three years old. The version was so old I was not able to get an upgrade to a version that works with Vista. Fortunately, I found a very nice representative at NETGEAR that sent me a link to an upgrade. DO NOT PURCHASE UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THAT AMAZON HAS THE LATEST VERSION!!

1.0 out of 5 stars NETGEAR VPN05L ProSafe VPN Client Software, March 6, 2008

By	Lewis Ed Balentine "lewtwo" (Jupiter, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased a Netgear FVS114 VPN Firewall and VPN Client package (VPN05L) from CDW on 25 Jan 2008. We are told by Netgear Tech Support that the BIOS was changed in the device and it is no longer "stable". The previous BIOS version is no longer available. They are unable to resolve the problem (netgear tech support case: 6614329).

I used to consider NETGEAR to be a quality vendor, but their failure to do any testing prior to replacing a firmware version demostrates a total lack of quality control and has lowered them to "also ran" status. We are very disapointed in Netgear's responce and their lack of concern with their products. Perhaps they will get this package working in the future but at this time (6 March 2008) it does not work.
