Chapter 2
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless 802.11g
Firewall/Print
Server Model FWG114P v2.
Key Features of the FWG114P v2
The ProSafe Wireless 802.11g
Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P v2, with a 4-port switch,
connects your LAN to the Internet through a broadband modem. With auto fail-over connectivity
through the serial port, the FWG114P v2 provides highly reliable Internet access.
The FWG114P v2 is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks and
intrusions and enables secure communications using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Unlike
simple Internet sharing routers that rely on Network Address Translation (NAT) for security, the
FWG114P v2 uses Stateful Packet Inspection for Denial of Service attack (DoS) attack protection
and intrusion detection. The FWG114P v2 allows Internet access for up to 253 users. It provides
multiple Web content filtering options, plus browsing activity reporting and instant alerts via
e-mail. Parents or network administrators can establish restricted access policies based on
time-of-day, Web site addresses and address keywords, and share high-speed cable/DSL Internet
access for up to 253 personal computers.
With minimum setup, you can install and use the router within minutes. The FWG114P v2
Wireless Firewall/Print Server provides the following features:
802.11g and 802.11b standards-based wireless networking.
Easy, Web-based setup for installation and management.
Supports two VPN tunnels, Content Filtering, and Site Blocking Security.
Wireless Multimedia (WMM) support.
Built-in 4-port 10/100 Mbps Switch and USB 2.0 Printer Port.
Ethernet and Serial ports for connection to a WAN device, such as a broadband modem.
Extensive Protocol Support.
Login capability.
Front panel LEDs for easy monitoring of status and activity.

NAT off (classical routing).
Full Routing on Both the Broadband and Serial Ports
You can install, configure, and operate the FWG114P v2 to take full advantage of a variety of
routing options on both the serial and broadband WAN ports, including:
Internet access via either the serial or broadband port.
Auto fail-over connectivity through an analog or ISDN modem connected to the serial port.
If the broadband Internet connection fails, after waiting for an amount of time you specify, the
FWG114P v2 can automatically establish a backup ISDN or dial-up Internet connection via
the serial port on the firewall.
Remote Access Server (RAS) that allows you to log in remotely through the serial port to
access a server on your LAN, other LAN resources, or the Internet, based on a user name and
password you define.
LAN-to-LAN access between two FWG114P v2 wireless firewall/print servers through the
serial port, with the option of enabling auto-failover Internet access across the serial
LAN-to-LAN connection.
802.11g and 802.11b Wireless Networking
The FWG114P v2 Wireless Firewall/Print Server includes an 802.11g-compliant wireless access
point. The access point provides:
802.11b standards-based wireless networking at up to 11 Mbps.
802.11g wireless networking at up to 54 Mbps, which conforms to the 802.11g standard.
WPA and WPA2 enterprise class strong security with RADIUS and certificate authentication
as well as dynamic encryption key generation.
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK pre-shared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS
servers but with all of the strong security of WPA and WPA2.
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.
