What do you like best about Netgear ProSafe Firewall?

I like the fact that it works faster and is great for a home network. It works well with the VPN when I work from home. It does not overheat but usually I need to add an Ethernet cable in order to get quicker access when I am using the router. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netgear ProSafe Firewall?

Unfortunately, there are more bad things than good regarding this. The connection is constantly glitching and locking up. You really need to decipher what model you are getting because some of the earlier versions have faster speeds than this one and some of the later models have slower speeds.
