ProSafe Firewalls.
About the NETGEAR ProSafe Firewalls
The NETGEAR ProSafe Firewall is a complete security solution that protects your network from
attacks and intrusions. Unlike simple Internet sharing routers that rely on NAT for security, the
NETGEAR ProSafe Firewall uses Stateful Packet Inspection for Denial of Service (DoS) attack
protection and intrusion detection. The NETGEAR ProSafe Firewall allows Internet access for up
to 253 users. The ProSafe Firewall family consists of these three products:
•
FR114P Firewall with Print Server
•
FR114W Wireless-Ready Firewall
•
FM114P Wireless Firewall with Print Server
The FR114P and FM114P firewalls include a built-in print server, allowing the sharing of a printer
by all PCs on your network. The FM114P firewall includes an 802.11b-compliant wireless access
point, while the FR114W firewall can be upgraded to an access point by adding a NETGEAR
802.11b wireless adapter card.
Key Features
The NETGEAR ProSafe Firewalls offer the following features.

Introduction
A Powerful, True Firewall
Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the NETGEAR ProSafe Firewall is a true firewall,
using stateful packet inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:
•
Denial of Service (DoS) protection
Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death,
SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing.
•
Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.
•
Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.
•
Logs security incidents
The NETGEAR ProSafe Firewall will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic,
port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the firewall to email the log to
you at specified intervals. You can also configure the firewall to send immediate alert
messages to your email address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.
Wireless Access Point
The FM114P firewall includes an 802.11b-compliant wireless access point, while the FR114W
firewall can be upgraded to an access point by adding a NETGEAR 802.11b wireless adapter card.
With an integrated wireless access point, the firewall provides continuous, high-speed 11 Mbps
access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The access point provides:
•
802.11b Standards-based wireless networking at up to 11 Mbps
•
64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security
•
WEP keys can be generated manually or by passphrase
•
Wireless access can be restricted by MAC address
Integrated Print Server
The FR114P and FM114P NETGEAR ProSafe Firewalls include a built-in print server. A print
server eliminates the bottleneck of a dedicated always-on PC print server and supports multiple
print jobs simultaneously.
•
Protocol Support
PTP (Peer-to-Peer) over TCP/IP for Windows
LPR printing for Windows, Macintosh, or Linux
