Advantages: No problems with connection Disadvantages: None
...I used modems supplied my my internet service provider and experienced problems with connectivity and drop out. In the end I got so sick of phoning the ISPs to report problems to be given the same twaddle (updating drivers etc.) that I went into my local branch of PC World and asked for their recommendation. The Netgear DG834G was the salesman's recommendation. It cost £50 and has been one of the better purchases I have made. My desk top PC and now my son's laptop use the same router and the wireless signal has never failed. We do not suffer from connectivity issues and trust the routers security to protect us from freeloaders and hackers. I would personally recommend this router type over those supplied by service providers....

Advantages: Great Firewall Protection, Easy To set-up Disadvantages: None
...Having moved away from home (and the comfort of my home wireless network) Not wanting to go wireless due to problems in the past, I needed a ADSLFirewalledRouter, so a quick check at Dabs reveiled this little beauty, not only is this a great looker, but it does its job fantastically. This product acts as a 4 port Switch as well as a ADSLModem, it has a double Firewall, which i don't really understand but it seems to keep the nastys out.
Great Product, would recommend for anyone that need to have a PC and Laptop Set up over one broadband connection but doesn't need the hassle of wireless. overall probally the best idea for the techie and technical challenged alike....

When I first heard of this product, I really wasn't convinced. First of all Netgear's claim that it can operate at 270mb which is more than 2 times that of a standard home/office 10/100mb network and a good deal more than my old 54g (30mb+/-) router's... more
