NETGEAR FR314

Just wanted to know exactly how many users this FW supports out of the box. Seems to me 8 and then upgradeable to 45. I have read over Netgears site and I am still not sure if this is a Firmware upgrade or not.

Also, anyone have it?? Does it like VPN's?? ie pcAnywhere or MSTSC. Thx alot for relevant input

It does support 8. Netgear treats its "F" series routers as license-based entities, as they have built in firewall software. Basically, when you upgrade to either 20 or 45 users, you are simply purchasing additional licenses for the firewall software. They are not cheap either:

To upgrade to 20 users costs $94.80, add $118.80 to that to upgrade to $45, for a total of $213.60. A standard router <i>without</i> built-in firewall software would be able to support at least an entire subnet, or 254 users (one IP reserved for the gateway), right out of the box.
