Introduction 2-1
Chapter 2
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall
FWAG114.
Key Features of the VPN Firewall
The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall FWAG114 with 4-port switch connects your local
area network (LAN) to the Internet through an external access device such as a cable modem or
DSL modem.
The FWAG114 is a complete security solution that protects your network from attacks and
intrusions. Unlike simple Internet sharing routers that rely on Network Address Translation (NAT)
for security, the FWAG114 uses Stateful Packet Inspection for Denial of Service attack (DoS)
attack protection and intrusion detection. The FWAG114 allows Internet access for up to 253
users. The FWAG114 wireless firewall provides you with multiple Web content filtering options,
plus browsing activity reporting and instant alerts -- both via e-mail. Parents and network
administrators can establish restricted access policies based on time-of-day, Website addresses and
address keywords, and share high-speed cable/DSL Internet access for up to 253 personal
computers. In addition to NAT, the built-in firewall protects you from hackers.
With minimum setup, you can install and use the router within minutes.
The FWAG114 wireless firewall provides the following features:
• 802.11g and 802.11b standards-based wireless networking.
• Easy, web-based setup for installation and management.
• Content Filtering and Site Blocking Security.
• Built in 4-port 10/100 Mbps Switch.
• Ethernet connection to a WAN device, such as a cable modem or DSL modem.
• Extensive Protocol Support.
• Login capability.
• Front panel LEDs for easy monitoring of status and activity.

Reference Manual for the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall FWAG114
2-2 Introduction
• Flash memory for firmware upgrade.
802.11g and 802.11b Wireless Networking
The FWAG114 wireless firewall includes an 802.11b-compliant wireless access point, providing
continuous, high-speed 11 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. 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 will conform to the 802.11g standard
when ratified.
• 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.
• Wireless network name broadcast can be turned off so that only devices that have the network
name (SSID) can connect.
A Powerful, True Firewall with Content Filtering
Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the FWAG114 is a true firewall, using stateful packet
inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:
•DoS protection.
Automatically detects and thwarts DoS attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND
Attack, and IP Spoofing.
• Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.
• Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.
• Logs security incidents.
The FWAG114 will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks,
and administrator logins. You can configure the router to email the log to you at specified
intervals. You can also configure the router to send immediate alert messages to your email
address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.

Reference Manual for the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall FWAG114
Introduction 2-3
• With its content filtering feature, the FWAG114 prevents objectionable content from reaching
your PCs. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for
keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the router to log and report attempts to
access objectionable Internet sites.
Security
The FWAG114 wireless firewall is equipped with several features designed to maintain security, as
described in this section.
• PCs Hidden by NAT
NAT opens a temporary path to the Internet for requests originating from the local network.
Requests originating from outside the LAN are discarded, preventing users outside the LAN
from finding and directly accessing the PCs on the LAN.
• Port Forwarding with NAT
Although NAT prevents Internet locations from directly accessing the PCs on the LAN, the
router allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific PCs based on the service port number
of the incoming request, or to one designated “DNS” host computer. You can specify
forwarding of single ports or ranges of ports.
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
With its internal 8-port 10/100 switch, the FWAG114 can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. Both the LAN and WAN interfaces are
autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The router incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each Ethernet port will automatically sense
whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as to a
PC or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to the
correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as
Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
Extensive Protocol Support
The FWAG114 wireless firewall supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). For further information about TCP/IP, refer to
Appendix B, “Network, Routing, Firewall, and Basics.”

Reference Manual for the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall FWAG114
2-4 Introduction
• IP Address Sharing by NAT
The FWAG114 wireless firewall allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account
using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your
Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, known as NAT, allows the use of an
inexpensive single-user ISP account.
• Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP
The FWAG114 wireless firewall dynamically assigns network configuration information,
including IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN
using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies
configuration of PCs on your local network.
• DNS Proxy
When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the router provides its own
address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The router obtains actual DNS addresses from
the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over a DSL connection by
simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such
as Entersys or WinPOET on your PC.
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall FWAG114
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 router 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.
• Smart Wizard
The FWAG114 wireless firewall automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking
you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
• Diagnostic functions
The firewall incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping, DNS lookup, and remote
reboot.

Reference Manual for the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall FWAG114
Introduction 2-5
• 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, and you can choose a nonstandard port number.
• Visual monitoring
The FWAG114 wireless firewall’s front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status
and activity.
Maintenance and Support
NETGEAR offers the following features to help you maximize your use of the FWAG114 wireless
firewall:
• Flash memory for firmware upgrade
• Free technical support seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day
Package Contents
The product package should contain the following items:
