It also boasted a speed of 108 Mbps. The DG834PN allows you to directly connect up to 4 computers using Ethernet cables and allows up to 253 users to connect wirelessly - more than enough for most home networks I would think ... As it combines a router AND a modem, it can be plugged directly into an ADSL line. It also... Read review

Advantages: Safe, secure, powerful

...the DG834G describes itself as an "all-in-one gateway which combines always-on broadband access with or without wires". Now, I'll firstly give you the technical blurb off the Netgear site and then try and tell you how this all works: "This 802.11g wireless router adds considerable power and flexibility to your network. Five products in one, it combines an ADSL modem, router, 10/100 LAN switch, 802.11g access point, and SPI True Firewall.
