NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router

...internet led me to the Netgear 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router (with 4 port switch). Phew, what a mouthful, eh? This set up would mean that the PC beside the phone point would be physically connected to the router whilst the PC at the top of the house would be connected wirelessly which solves all my problems! I can hear you all running away in terror at the horrible jargon, so stop! Return! I shall try to explain to you what this is all about. ...
...well. Essentially then, the Netgear 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router provides you with a broadband modem and hardware firewall base unit whilst allowing you to network your computers together without the inconvenience of wires, although that option is also open to you. Inside the box, you'll find the actual base unit along with a power supply, a micro filter, two cables, the driver software on CD and the instructions. The instructions are ...

Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router

...I should note that my Netgear router has v2 on the bottom of it - version 2 in case that makes a difference. The model number is the same though. *** There are a number of machines (laptops mostly) which knock around in my rented flat, and a couple of years ago, I was looking for a decent ADSL router which would meet the bill. This isn't the first one I bought - but I soon got rid of the other one and replaced it with this one, and have been happy ...
...places. I bought a NetGear WiFi USB adapter for my older laptop to connect up wirelessly, and it works great. The newer laptops I have also link up great with their inbuilt WiFi connectivity. The Netgear DG834G also allows you to setup wireless security on it (great if you don't want your next door neighbour freeloading on your broadband connection). This can be tricky to set up at first - mainly because you need to also set up the password on every ...

...nothing but praise for the Netgear DG834G router. I’ve been using the router for the past year and I’ve be very happy with it. Prior to getting this product I had an ADSL connection. The difference from switch has opened my eyes to what I’ve been mission out on! I got my new gear when I switched my internet connection package.

I also got in the box a yellow ...

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. ...

However, I'm a tinkerer and when we've had to set up different laptops on the wireless network and needed WEP keys etc etc the routers diagnostics/set up software ...

...we came to select the Netgear Router. Earlier this year we took up one of Karoo's Broadband deals and have been relatively pleased with it.

True to their word two days later a nice little package arrived and on opening I saw that it was the Netgear DG834G Router, various leads and a couple of ...

Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router

...An ADSL router like this Netgear product is really 3 things in one. It is an ADSL modem which will connect your system to broadband via your phone line. It will connect your computers to each other allowing file sharing and providing a fairly robust firewall to stop hackers accessing your system. Finally, it does all this independently of your computers meaning that it is not necessary to keep one computer switched on for your other computers to ...

I found the configuration guide that came with the router provided way too much detail and I was initially pretty phased. I tried using XPs network configuration wizard but things didn’t run smoothly. Finally I found a brilliant web tutorial which made it all ridiculously easy ...

Netgear Review In my house, there are 3 PC's and I needed a better way to Network these together. As an AOL member, this was not to be an easy task. However, I discovered this Router on AOL's Website and decided to look into it. The main Reason I brought this Hardware is because it has an integrated ADSL Modem. It has 4 ports.

In all there isn't anything wrong wit this Item at all. CONCLUSION When I brought this Router, I got it for £120, with a Laptop Card - The Netgear WG511, a perfect Companion. I am unsure of the Price of the WG511 now. However, this Router, which is currently, priced around £70. For this price you are getting ...

Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router

I decided to consider purchasing a wireless router when my home network began to expand, it was becoming a problem with fellow family members needing to use the Internet all at once. Having more than three computers, and only one computer having internet access was abysmal. I therefore decided to invest in a wireless router, as two of the laptops already had integrated wifi support, their was no additional need to invest in wireless USB dongles etc. ...
...I had to research prior to purchasing a router to check for compatibility. I therefore found this beauty "Netgear DG84G", I ordered it promptly from Overclockers UK, at the time it was priced at £90 without any additional devices such as the USB dongle. As I needed the router promptly, I remembered purchasing the additional £5.99 next day delivery that was daunting, due to the fact at the point I had never set up a wireless router, and was anxious ...

There's not a great deal to say on this product as it does absolutely everything you would expect it to. I currently have this wireless router installed to transmit Virgin Media Broadband through the house. I have to say it's fantastic! The set up was fast and efficient, all the accessories plugged in and worked and I've had no problems at all. The signal is not the strongest but certainly more than enough if you're in any room of the house to receive ...

...no longer officially supported by NETGEAR now that v2 is out. The router defaults to no encryption, and no access list, but has support for an access list, 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, and WPA-PSK. All of these work well, though WPA is obviously recommended. The latest update also added support for VPN, which may be useful for some people. Another fault with this router however is that it is quite awkward to set up things an average user may ...

The manufacturer support is poor for this model as well - the complaints on official forums about this routers connectivity problems have been mostly ignored, and this has caused more problems for NETGEAR. I have tried most things in relation to this, and have ...

Depending on where it is located, it gives different signal strenghts, sometimes i dont get signal in my bedroom; but if i move the ...
