A built-in ADSL modem furnishes direct, always-on Internet connectivity and multi-user access sharing at speeds up to 140 times faster than dial-up. This powerful router distributes MP3s, digital movies and photos with ultra-fast 10/100 switched LAN ports capable of speeds of 200 Mbps, and shares a single IP address with up to 253 users. And, it boasts double the memory and a 50% faster CPU than many popular routers. No need for a separate modem - this connects directly into your ADSL line.

The web, wirelessly.
Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router by TheDuke

Advantages: All-in-one package, ease of use, advanced features.
Disadvantages: Price

...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. I ... Read review

Netgear DG834G v2 - lovely piece of kit
Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router by gtsang123

Advantages: stylish, robust, wide range of features, WiFi and wired connectivity
Disadvantages: drops connection during lightning storms, manual slim on advanced features

...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 ... Read review

Disadvantages: The launch of the DG834GT 108Mbps

...recommend it to anyone. However, Netgear have recently released a new model, the DG834GT which has a speed of 108Mbps, so if you want even faster Broadband, that's the one to get!

...own personnel usage of the Netgear DG834G router and also as a tool in a business environment. Firstly let me tell you what is included within this device and then why I chose it for both environments. This device is made up of the following – an ADSL MODEM, 4-port Switch, Wireless Access Point and Firewall. Bear this in mind when making a purchase – if you don’t want all of these facilities NetGear and other manufacturers make other products ... Read review

Advantages: Neat, Wirelessenabled, home network, cheap, fast and reliable
Disadvantages: Flimsy Arial (Could be just mine), Gets marked (white)

...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 had AOL silver and then upgraded to platinum for free. This was a special offer as I was going to cancel my contract. ... Read review

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

Advantages: Never let me down, small footprint
Disadvantages: Can't think of a single one

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 ... Read review

Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router by grafter123

Advantages: Compact, efficient, works well, easy to install, good price
Disadvantages: More inevitable leads to the computer etc yet again. Big feet

...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. However since we purchased a laptop recently, with wireless capabilities as standard ,we looked at upgrading to a wireless broadband connection. I would just like to say here that although I may sound quite technology competent here, that as a 50 something female, my knowledge is limited. We looked at buying ... Read review

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

Advantages: Ease of set up, firewall, speed
Disadvantages: Needs some IT confidence

... 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 be ... Read review

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

Advantages: Simple to Set-up, Easy to Maintain, Smart Design
Disadvantages: None

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. Onboard is a Hardware Firewall with two types of protection. It also has 'Wi-Fi'. This basically lets you surf ... Read review

Perfect for any Home Network
Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router by DvDaf

Advantages: Wireless Networking, File Transfering, Remote Administration
Disadvantages: N/A

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. ... Read review

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

Advantages: wireless, stable, secure
Disadvantages: none

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 ... Read review

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

Advantages: Nice looking, quite good range, good amount of features
Disadvantages: Often some connection problems, hard to set up for an average user

...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 ... Read review

Disadvantages: Installation

Ahhh the netgear DG834G, my first router and still my current router! I have had this router for over 2 years now and it works fine still! The hardest part ever whilst using it was the installation! We actually had to ask a computer programmer, our neighbour, to come round and install it for us! It was that confusing! Depending on where it is located, it gives different signal strenghts, sometimes i dont get signal in my bedroom; but if i move the ... Read review
