Manufacturer`s Description

The DG834G is the most popular ADSL Wireless Modem Router in the UK! The DG834G lets you easily share your ADSL Internet connection with all the computers in your home or small office – with or without wires.

Wireless Connectivity Wireless Connectivity - The DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL modem router provides continuous, untethered access to network resources and the Internet. The DG834G allows you to share your hi-speed ADSL broadband connection wirelessly with all the desktop PC’s, laptops and games consoles in the household or small office. A built-in 4 port switch also enables you to connect some computers using cables if you prefer.

Safe & Secure The built-in True Firewall features Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DOS), which operate as your first line of attack against intruders. The DG834G provides both WEP and WPA-PSK wireless encryption standards to protect your network from eavesdroppers and bandwidth pinchers! Content filtering lets you control access to inappropriate websites and limit usage by time of day. To be ultimately secure you can limit access to designated computers using their unique ID, called a MAC address.

Set-up could not be easier; NETGEAR’s Smart Wizard install assistant automatically detects and makes the best connection to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). It is also easy to change the settings of your DG834G wireless router via a web-browser interface.

Customer Reviews

Fixed antenna warning
The router was fairly easy to set up and maintains connectivity well. However, coverage to some parts of my house is patchy (eg I have to leave the doors open to maintain connectivity). I decided to change the antenna for a more powerful one - a commonly-suggested means to improve coverage. The trouble is that the currently shipping version (v4) of this router has a fixed antenna that CANNOT BE REPLACED.

Earlier versions allowed replacement.

Took a while to setup and it works amazingly !!!
I used to have a belkin wireless router which seemed to fail every 2 minutes !! Then we thought wireless would never work in our house. I got a talk talk wired router which failed every second !!! I couldnt take it anymore so I was reccomended by a friend to buy this router and it hasnt failed yet !!!! I had problems with talk talk letting me browse with this router but it was all sorted over the phone in about and hour.

Netgear rules !!

What's all the fuss about?
I purchased a new laptop for a friend and 10 days later I invested in this little beauty. Within 10 minutes it was up and running with her new laptop and 2 minutes later her son's laptop was on the wireless network. I was most impressed with the ease of setup using the wizard and the only delay was locating her ISP details from the original modem setup! Thoroughly recommended.
