do you need to subscribe to to a vpn service once you have the router, or does it already come with a vpn?

The VPN function is inherent to the router. At least for an IPSEC tunnel. I never tried it for a client type setup.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.

Haha good luck with part. You need a VPN software from netgear or another third party vendor.. It is very very unreliable. It will work for 2-3 days and then all of sudden it will reset own it's own.. I am on latest firmware 3.28.. I recommend you going for a good branded hardware such as cisco.. I am sure you will not regret it.

It is a stand alone router and can be used to that effect without any subscription. Connection to the internet will require a 4g or wired service of course.

You need to have it connected to the internet through it's Base station, which is hardwired to your router.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I'm only using it as a VPN between the house and a location in the US to mask my IP.

it does not come with the router attachment. It only has a small number of basic bits in the box, so you will have to add them. The picture on the left shows everything in the set.

Yes, the device has site-to-site vpn ability as one router acting as a vpn server and the other acting as a vpn client

Yes it needs to be wired to a router, if it is a wireless router then you will see it over the network.

After Reviewing the package contents I can not find any sign that it once had a VPN License. I would assume that it would need to be purchased. Sorry again for the delayed response. Thank you and have a good day.

Just a thought but there's kind of a specific order to the process - enter the wireless router's password into the device then go back to the router and "add device". Once you click through to the point the router has opened the gates and can accept devices then try to connect your device but be quick because the gate is only open briefly. If you miss the opportunity you'll need to re-enter the password and start over. I had that problem with a new dvr that was located in another room. I wasn't moving fast enough. Once i figured out the problem it connected immediately.

I believe I still have the original firmware that came with the router which is 1.0.04 build 7 and it can be upgraded from the manufacturer website. However, I have found not need to upgrade

It works out of the box as a VPN router. If you want it to be a spam filter, anti-virus filter, etc you can license those features separately. I have never used the extra licenses. I do however buy a support contract with each Sonicwall. I rarely use it but like knowing they are available.

Yes, it comes with it, or did when I got mine. This is a great router and easy to install in a table.

It has a guest access which I have turned off. I had to look to confirm it has 2 USB ports because I don't use them. Remember a router is a relatively slow computer so why use what little computing it has to deal with this stuff. We found that by passing our VPN through to a computer rather than letting the router handle it, our speed was much much faster. I think the same would apply here.

I used it behind ISP's DSL modem, so I'm not sure, your best bet is check the approved model list against your current DSL subscription, ISP like you pay them monthly 'rental' fee, use your own equipment, they can point finger to your responsibility when there's connection problem

You are correct. The exception is if your router has an HPNA coax connection. Many ATT Uverse modem/routers have this built in.
