Query: Not a good choice

Beware, if you want to use the VPN you also need to buy the Netgear proprietary software. This is bad - they should include it in the price of the router. I did not realize this when I bought the router, but it does say so if you read the fine print and look at the diagram.However I found the basic DSL PPPoE connection to degrade over a day or so, and require reboot for performance, or it stops, and you are forced to reboot it. So given this, I never spent the extra money to buy their VPN software. I was surprised about this since I used this to replace a Linksys WRT54G which has worked flawlessly for years.(I bought a Linksys RVS4000 instead, and could not get it's VPN going either. Finally I bought a Draytek router, which are hard to find in the US. This is working really well - but not for the amateur - the setup is very sophisticated and needs great expertise. But once you set it up - it works very well, to my relief.)
