What model of DSL routers works best with SecuRemote/SecureClient

Here is the result of different tests performed with DSL routers and SecuRemote.

Checkpoint Safe@Home (s-box) works fine

Linksys They are working with SecuRemote. The only issue with Linksys is that they only support a single IPSEC connection from behind the router. I had a Linksys BEFSR41 router and have multiple computers at home, and for the longest time, was wondering why I was having connection/stability problems. I then found out from Linksys' web site that there routers only support a single IPSEC connection.

SMC routers, as we have not had a single problem with them.

NetGear products work fine

3Com officeconnect DSL gateway works fine

Netopia 3351 works fine

Cisco 678 works fine

D-Link 614+ could not work but 714 worked out of the box.

W-Linx 401,  is working perfectly.


Is it possible to use an answer file for SecureClient installation

Is possible to use an answer file with a SecuRemote installation (Build 4200) to be specific? This allows the ability to blindly answer the questions during the install, without the end user having to do anything.

This is possible. In NG FP2/3 checkpoint also ships a tool for modifying these settings. Use the "Secure Client Packaging tool" that is available from the checkpoint site.

You have to install the packaging tool on a machine that has SecuRemote/SecureClient installed and configured. Then run through the options and when it gets to the part where it asks for the Client installed files point it to the directory where it is installed on the current machine (c:\Program Files\Checkpoint\SecuRemote or something close to that) Then generate your package. Now install it on a TEST machine everything should be there.
