Anyone know what kind of firewall it has? Is it configurable? My experience is most of these modem/routers have very simplistic firewalls that cover only the most basic functions.

Have you had any problems with it over-heating? I have heard some reports that many of the netgear consumer routers can get very hot, so hot that you can almost burn yourself if you touch the top of them.

Is that your experience?

I have found this to be a very easy to configure router. It works with DSL, has 4 10/100 ports and has been very stable for me.

This is not a wireless router. For a wired job it does the job and it is relatively inexpensive.

So if you do not have a router, or are looking for one, I can highly recommend this.
