Easy Installation and Management

You can install, configure, and operate the ProSafe Wireless-N VPN Firewall within minutes after
connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:
• Browser-Based Management. Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure
your firewall and Wireless access from almost any type of personal computer, such as
Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help
documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface.
• Auto Detection of ISP. The firewall automatically senses the type of Internet connection,
asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
• VPN Wizard. The firewall includes the NETGEAR VPN Wizard to easily configure IPsec
VPN tunnels according to the recommendations of the Virtual Private Network Consortium
(VPNC) to ensure the IPsec VPN tunnels are interoperable with other VPNC-compliant VPN
firewalls and clients.
• SNMP. The firewall supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to let you
monitor and manage log resources from an SNMP-compliant system manager. The SNMP
system configuration lets you change the system variables for MIB2.
• Diagnostic Functions. The firewall incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping,
Trace Route, DNS lookup, and remote reboot.
• Remote Management. The firewall allows you to login to the Web Management Interface
from a remote location on the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access
to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses.
• Visual monitoring. The firewall's front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status
and activity.
