Just purchased a Netgear FVS318 VPN Firewall. When I plug it in at this site, sometimes I get no WAN connection, sometimes I get a Dynamic IP Address, sometimes it tells me I have a static IP Address. Using a Surfboard SB4100 to connect to Time Warner cable.
Netgear thought it was a bad WAN port, so I returned for a new product. Same result. It should get a Dynamic IP Address, but can never keep it for more than a minute. Tried at another site that uses Time Warner cable and a Surfboard SB4200 and works like a charm.
Netgear does not know of any known issues with that particular model, but I suspect it is the cable modem. Site that has problems with Netgear VPN works fine with D-Link router.
Has anyone else had issues with this?
