[mboy]

Great deal on a 4 port VPN SMC router with logging and true SPI firewall.

$69.95
- 10 rebate

= $59.95 and free shipping

Not too shabby for vpn capabilities and a Stateful Packet Inspection firewall

SMC7004FW

I'm clueless about VPN--does this router do hardware encryption/decryption?

 

[mboy]

Yep

Anybody got a good deal on a wireless AP? I'd like to buy this to replace my SMC 7004WBR, but I'd need wireless.

 

[UrbanAchiever]

if you already have a wireless ap you can just combine this barricade plus with your ap, its probably cheaper then buying a new all-in-one

They have the same one in wireless:
http://www.techdepot.com/product.asp?productid=1149508&iid=938

but looks to be $149 or so shipped so if you need VPN endpoint an SPI firewall capabilities, it looks pretty good.

They also have the regular wireless router for $99 or so

Look for a coupon to bring them down a bit.

Buy.com has this for $105.30. The rebate on their site is $30 off. Now, if they'll pricematch Tech Depot at 69.95 (they should)- that's $39.95 after rebate. *@!*%, and I just ordered one from TechDepot. Found this looking for reviews...

Outpost has a $40 off coupon, but not sure if they Pricematch and shipping charge

Pretty big difference. For 1, the netgear only does NAT and they consider that a firewall (which it is not).
The SMC does real Stateful packet Inspection and also has NAT.

2) The SMC is a vpn (IPSEC or PPTP) endpoint. U could have 1 SMC in 1 location, have a 2nd in another (say branch office), and create a VPN to each other. The netgear has VPN pass thru, meaning it will allow an encrypted tunnel to pass thru it to an endpoint (either vpn firewall after the router, or software based solution, but can not be the actual endpoint.

Mighty big differences for the same price.

Netgear is not even close to being hot at that price, the SMC definately is!

Good deal, esp. w/ Best Buy pricematch.
