Default [ssl and ubuntu]

We got a FVS 335g for our small office. So far, We agree with all the comments listed above. (personally I think it would be very difficult for Netgear to complicate configuration further for this device).

Now, we are having issues connecting UBUNTU via SSL.

We can see the portal, and complete the login information, but when the small window with the (connect/disconnect) buttons shows up, the browser crashes.

Has anyone been able to use the SSL connection using UBUNTU (8.10 or 9.04)?

Thanks much to Tim and Dennis for your help; think I'll be buying the 336g, then.

Dennis, you mentioned that the Netgear WNDAP330 doesn't simulataneously support both 2.4GHz/g and 5.0Ghz/ n...do you know of/recommend a WAP that does?

Thanks,
Dave

Both the Netgear WNDAP330 access point we purchased, as well as the Netgear FVS336G have been major headaches and time wasters for me over the last week. It would be hard for me to recomend either, although if you've time to fiddle, read, learn and then have time some more time to spend on the phone, you might be ok. I just finally got IPSEC VPN working on the FVS336G to Vista 64bit based on my own research on the topic. What I can say is that SSL VPN to 32 bit clients worked out of the box just fine. I'll be testing dual WAN behaviour on the FVS336G next week. The management interface can be quite complex, and is not well designed, however there are a pile of features there. Like the QNAP TS509 when it first came out (terribly buggy firmware) IMHO this router is 1 or 2 firmware updates away from being an excellent product.

The DRAYTEK 2950 is the only device I can find so far that most folks seem to like with a similar feature set. I cannot confirm that the 2950 however supports SSL VPN with 64 bit clients, and support is coming from overseas so I'd be slightly resistant to order one.

Tim, it would be great to review this device as there are very few dual WAN routers with SSL VPN out there to choose from.

Cheers,
Dennis.
