Advantages: Excellent range, eliminates wireless dead spots Disadvantages: Occasionally has problems 'locking' on to a signal
...bit of a fan of Netgear products, and have had a number of their wired and wireless routers over the years. I have to say that I'm also a bit of a geek, and like to try out new products when they come on to the market.
I had been using the excellent DG834GT Wireless Router for about a year to act as a router/modem for my wired computer in the office and for my wireless laptop. It worked well for the wired PC, but I was severely restricted to where ... ...I was looking through the Netgear site one day, I saw an article about a new product they had just released, the DG834PN RangeMax Wireless Router, which made use of Smart MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology (more of this later), that promised to deliver up to 10x faster coverage & speed compared to 802.11g, extend the network range by up to 400 feet and eliminate dead spots.

Advantages: Facilities, easy set up, lights(!), stability Disadvantages: Some backwards compatibility issues, lack of web executable filtering
The Netgear DG834PN is the latest version of the DG834 and combines an ADSL modem with a wireless router and 4 port switch. In plain English, this plugs in your phone socket and allows one or more PCs to share the connection via either a wired or wireless link.
The modem part is ADSL2+ ready and should work with even the fastest ISP offerings out there which as at Dec 2006 are around 12mbps in the UK. The setup wizard worked flawlessly and apart ... ...I couldn't get an old Netgear ME101 USB 802.11b wireless adaptor to talk to it. In theory they should be compatible but no amount of cajoling would get them on speaking terms. A visit to the Netgear web site confirmed this as a problem with both the ME101 and a number of newer wireless devices such as the DG834. Which was at fault? Difficult to say.
The ADSL connection stayed solid with no need to reboot the device. The one time I wasn't able to ...

Advantages: High speed internet, long range, security, file sharing, print sharing, easy set-up. Disadvantages: None to my knowledge
My experience with this product was i needed a solution to share my AOL connection, and rather than upgrading my AOL package and paying more, all to get the down-grade of this router which cant share music, files, etc. I decided to buy this, after spending a whole day adding all the AOL coding into the settings of the ADSL router i finally finished and have a great network, and all im paying is £14.99 a month with AOL. My network diagram is now as ... ...they are connection to the router wirelessly. I have my router next to the printer, the printer ( HP PHOTOSMART 2575 ) is linked by an ethernet cable into the a port in the back of the router. That way i can get wireless printing, wireless internet, wireless file sharing, for all computer in the household.
As far as security is concerned, the router has a built in firewall and my router has a WEP security code which is a combinaton of 13 digits ...

...my house.
Product
Netgear is a make that is very good for things such as wireless routers or wireless adapters to create a wireless connection. the DG834PN is a good wireless router. This is the rangemax version which means that you have a bigger area that is covered for you to use your internet whilst still keeping a strong signal. With the rangemax you can go to places in your house that you may not be able to go with other wireless routers.
... ...this netgear model you are getting a modem built in with a wireless router. this means that you do not need a seperate modem connected aswell as the wireless router. again this saves space and keeps things looking neater and tidier. You are also gatting a product where you ont need to buy seperate appliances to extend the range on the wireless router or other appliances such as antennas. this product has a good enough range to never need to buy these ...
