Advantages: looks good, robust and easy to use

Disadvantages: must be plugged into a computer, slow, times out if left on for too long

I bought the netgear gd834g router a few years ago now and it was a brillant little device. Firstly, it is a nice size, it is not massive but it is very robust making it very hard to brake. It also looks good to, it has a sleek white design which looks great alongside an apple computer and a very clear display of lights.

In total the router has 8 display lights, one which shows the power, a tick to show its loading up a disabled light, wireless projection and another 4 which show how many computers are plugged into it.

However over time this router has become old fashioned and out of date compare to some of the new ones on the market at the present time. Firstly it akes about 5-10mins to load up. secondly it has to always be plugged into a computer compare to some of the new ones which just plug into a mains supply and thirdly it times out if you leave it on for too long.

So it used to be a great router but now i would buy a more up to date version.

Summary: do buy it get a modern version
