This is the second DG834 that I have bought. The first one is still in use. The second one was bought to enable a second computer to make a direct connection with the BT test socket. By experimentation I found that a broadband connection via a telephone extension provides about 4 Megabits/sec. By connecting directly to the normal BT socket the speed improves to 5 Megabits/sec. However by connecting directly to the internal BT test socket the speed doubles to 10/12 Megabits/sec. This is a fiddle to achieve, but the result is that my main computer (which runs on Ubuntu Linux) has very fast broadband connection. Using the two routers my second computer (running on XP) can still connect to the broadband via a telephone extension when occasionally needed. Whilst this particular router, which is cable only, is not the latest technology,it is adequate for household use, easy to set up and has proved to be very reliable. There is nothing to dislike about it.Read full review
This is a pretty standard offering from Netgear, with all the usual features you'd expect from an ADSL Modem/Wireless Router. With one exception - the included VPN functionality. You can take 2 of these routers and create a site to site IPSec VPN link, or use an IPSec client. This functionality is usually only provided in far more expensive devices, whereas if you shop around on eBay you can pick these routers up for as little as £10 each! We use the v3 version, updated to the latest firmware, and it has been working faultlessly for the last couple of months. Highly recommended for this alone.
I needed a new wireless router as my previous one died on me. My nephew recommended this to me as he has the same and said it would be easy for me to set up. He was right, within 10 minutes I had swapped my broken router for this and it was working perfectly. It's on show in my hallway so it had to look good and be compact too so as not to unduly draw attention to it. I can connect to my broadband really quickly and have even recommended it to my daughter.
I bought this on reccomendation from a friend. It was easy to set up and was working within minutes. It transformed my web experience compared to my BT Voyager modem supplied by AOL. I also wired up a second machine after a few days and this work like a dream too. Great product.
Netgear have a reputation for producing quality gear. Although the DG834 is the wired version of their routers it is sufficient for the stand alone user who does not want to provide the whole street with a free wireless connection. It is easy to set up and is frequently priced on EBay at a very competitive price. This machine is a lot better than some of the other major players in the market.
