Netgear DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall

We seem to have advanced our internet options in leaps and bounds this year. Until late last year we were still on Dial up connection through our Internet provider Karoo. Karoo is provided by our local telephone service provider which is Kingston Communications. This company was a council run and owned company for as long as I can remember, until it's stock market floatation a few years ago. Herein lies a saga and a half but I will not go into details here, as most of it, is not relevant to the Net gear Router. However I wanted to point out that citizens of Hull are excluded from the many good offers which abound from Internet and Telephone Service providers as we are ...  Read the complete review

This is going to be short as, to be honest, I'm struggling to think about what I can write about it. I'll stick to personal experience and usage but as it's been so problem free, I think I'll struggle there as well. Looks ------- The router is sleek and minimalist. White in colour, it a has a row of flashing icon leds along the front to show what's working and what mightn't be. There is a small, stubby aerial on the back which is multi-directional. Setup ------ The router was bought of ebay for about 35 quid 2 years ago or thereabouts. I bought it simply because AOL would support it and I needed back-up if anything went ...  Read the complete review

I replaced my Belkin Router with this one. I got the package with the USB wireless package for 49.99 fromCarphone Warehouse (very good price considering PC world had exactly the same one for 79.99!) Anyway, getting home and gettting it out of the box was easy. It contains two 'legs' so you can have the router pitched up on its side - looks alot better! It is also an 'apple' style white plastic that to be honest does actually look pretty sexy, considering its a router. Having put the power on, plugged in my ASDL line, the network cable and micro filter it says to run the setup wizard... If you go to http://192.168.0.1 on your internet ...  Read the complete review

This wireless router is a decent router at a very cheap price. It has quite a lot of features for a basic wireless router, including a built-in switch, modem and firewall. The router has 4 ports for wired connection and can support up to 253 devices on it. Each wired port advertises speeds of roughly 200Mbps, and wired devices have a top speed of 54Mbps. I have found copying files over the network is quite slow, but downloading files from the net and opening web pages is on par with the wired connection. The physical set up of this router is very easy. The box contains the router, a power supply and an aerial. I cannot remember if it includes the ...  Read the complete review

The Netgear DG834G is a ADSL Wireless router. This means it doubles as a modem for your DSL internet connection and a wireless router. However it also includes other features like hardware firewall. The router can be found in online stores at very reasonable prices now considering the quality of it compared to other cheap routers. However I obtained my router for free from AOL. I know for a fact that Sky also gives this router away free so it must meet their expectations in terms of price/performance. It is certainly a good router to be receiving from an internet provider, my friends have received own branded routers that have failed quickly from other ...  Read the complete review
