...router behind a hallway cupboard. Netgear supply the router with a small stand and insist that it is always kept upright. This is I presume to allow adequate ventilation. The router allows you to set up port forwarding and comes with a few predefined services. The ones I required were not shown in that list so I had to set mine up myself which is pretty straightforward if you know what ports the various services that you set up require. Security ... ...happen. When I visited the Netgear website I found a firmware update and it’s more than likely that any future changes to the ‘N’ standard would be reflected in further firmware updates. Applying the firmware update was as simple as it could be. You simply download the file from the Netgear website (www.netgear.com) and access it from within the routers web interface. It takes a few moments to apply the update and then it automatically reboots itself. ...

Advantages: Superfast 270mbs network, looks sexy, stands up, secure Disadvantages: Needs compatible WN311B RangeMax Next card for 270mbs
...to get yourself a compatible Netgear WN311B PCI card or one of the netgear RangeMax usb sticks, as there is no way you would hope to get the full speed on another manufacturers card, you may, but why take the risk of purchasing? So with this router and a compatible card your all set. I am assuming you already have the compatible card installed and working otherwise we cannot test this router's wireless connection. Installation of the router is pretty ... ...setup guide. This takes you through the configuration of the whole router starting first with it's SSID name, it's WEP WPA security settings and your internet connection details...etc.. I like the fact that this is all done for you with the easy setup wizard.

Advantages: HD Streaming, functionality and reliability. Disadvantages: Draft N so not final N product
Having used Netgear for many a year, the DG834N wireless ADSL router does its job perfectly. I bought this item to replace the aging DG834G V2 which had decided to stop connecting to the internet!
This product is fairly large and roughly the size of a hardback book (slightly taller than a DVD case) After a month of having this I have had no problems and the connection is very stable including Streaming HD content from a wireless connection on a ... ...walls in the way slowed Netgear down but not much with an open link delivering a more impressive 40Mbit/sec.
I bought this product from £89 but it can be found cheaper on ebay for around £60, just hunt around and you won't be disappointed.
overall I'd give this product 8/10, does the job and does it well.
be aware this is only a draft N router so the final artcile may differ, although i'm sure firmware updates may sort these issues out. In order ...

NETGEAR ROUTER DG834N + WN121T ADAPTER
The company I work for, which will remain nameless, bought a small amount of these routers at Christmas; just about everybody in the company has had a problem, mainly with the wireless connection failing intermittently or no wireless connection at all.
Now the companies IT department has just received a new batch directly from Netgear, my new replacement router lasted 4 days, now it keeps losing wireless connection ... ...from this model DG834N The DG834GT router I had before this one, had no problem at all
I have installed the DG834, DG834G and DG834GT for family and friends and have always liked the Netgear routers until now; it's very possible they have design problem with the DG834N model? ...
