Product Reviews
Excellent
os:
Not ApplicableHad one of these now for around a month..
It has been working online since the day I got it, the speeds & range are very good,
There is a firmware upgrade to this product available at the moment, if anyone is getting one
of these I would recommend anyone not to upgrade the firmware because alot of complaint
are being made, and routers are being sent back to netgear because there un-fixable..
Its solely up to you though, I'm holding back on the firmware upgrade because mine works great
4 RJ45 sockets around the back
1 RJ11 for the ADSL internet
You get 1 Microfilter
With this product I also purchased Netgear WG511 54mbps PC Card 128bit Wless (QuickFind code: 46056)
haven't had any problems with it.. was simple and easy to set up, also brought one of these Netgear
10/100Mbps Ethernet Card RJ45 PCI FA311 (QuickFind code: 16435) again no problems
So overall with all my Netgear purchases im very happy easy to use
Well done Netgear
What a Doddle

Windows 2000Unit delivered Friday 21/11/03. Installed Monday 24/11/03. So easy to install. Connected first time to routers interface, a few credentials to enter and bang - connected to web at 1.1Mb. Combined with WG511 PCMCIA in a Compaq PII laptop, excellent - well worth the money and the wait.
Read the Instructions
os:
Not ApplicableJust re-read these reviews as I was ordering a couple more of these routers for stock. Why or why oh why don't ebuyer filter out the obvious nerds who write the most stupid negative reviews here? I know that open crisiscism is good (indeed I encourage it) but some of the comments here are dreadful and VERY out of date. Save it to say that Netgear have just updated the firmwear on these routers to the very latest high speed adsl standard. All for free and it works. If and it's a big if) your update fails then there is a recovery utility to get you back where you started. It should be obvious that you download the recovery utility BEFORE even thinking of upgrading. It's there if you look. But that is where the problem arises, nobody there to read the instruction TO the reviewers, they have to read for themselves. Too bad that! Buy this and ignore the old reviews! By the way BOTH versions operate exactly the same although you will get the newer version 2 from ebuyer. The power supplies though are NOT, repeat NOT interchangible. One works at 15Volts, 'tother at 12Volts. Don't muddle them up!
Netgear DG834G 54Mbps

Windows XPWell up and running for the last 5 mins .How can i give it 5 stars you ask? Easily i say... it has installed straight away , no hassle ,very stable and seems well put together .I have just had 3 days of headaches with a D-Link 300G+ adsl modem .This to be fair worked for a while but everytime i disconnected it refused to work again .This combined unit has stopped the headache like Paracetamol never could .Buy one you will not be dissapointed .
Brilliant! Just get one!

Not ApplicableGot this a couple of weeks ago and had it up and running with full 128 bit WEP alongside 2 MA101s in under 30 minutes.
Chapter 3, 4 and 5 of the installation manual give you the full run down on how to install the router in clear and fully understandable instructions.
Make sure you download the latest firmware for the router and the latest installation software for your adaptors from Netgear.
Recipe for setting up a secure Wireless Network.
1.)Test the network without any encryption or device limitation controls.
2.) Set up SSID
3.) Let the wireless adaptors pick up the SSID or enter in yourself
4.) Test network
5.) Set up Encryption on router by entering mode (i.e. 128 bit) enter catchphrase and generate pass key, keep copy of pass key to enter on each of the wireless adaptors via their security configuration utility.
5.) Turn on device limitation control on router and bobs your uncle. You've got a secure Wireless network in no time.
Brilliant!
Got 2 PCs downloading the Call Of Duty demos from the Fragland server in order to test the speed of the network. There was absolutely no percievable difference in speed compared to my old direct PC to ADSL modem set up.
Now I'm going for the Netgear WGE101 Ethernet bridge so that I can link my X-Box up to X-box Live.

Windows XPOrdered this along with Netgear 54MPS Wireless USB2 Adaptor and Ebuyer 54MPS PCMIA card. Connect up, enter ISP info and away you go!Setup time 10 mins (took longer to plug in than configure!) Instantly recognised the other 2 items-card in my Laptop-adaptor on my daughters PC-would recommend all three products-certainly lives up to other peoples comments
Netgear DG834G 54Mbps update
Just a little tip.This is a great product however it is very important to upgrade the firmware.This improved the wireless signal throughout the house by 100% .I forgot to mention this in my earlier review.Have fun and buy one !
Excellent Wireless ADSL Router Modem
os:
Windows XPWhat can I say - this is simply an excellent product. Very simple to set up - it detected my ISP settings first time and I was connected in minutes. Upgrade firmware to 1.03.00 ( http://www.netgear.com/support/products/DG834G.asp) to get WPA security.
Good product
os:
Windows XPAfter hearing from a number of people that they have had problems with wireless Belkin products I decided to keep most of my network Netgear, as I know a few people who have had very good experiences with them.
(the one Belkin device I use on my network is the most problematic)
I use this product with 2 Netgear wireless, 1 Belkin wireless 2 built-in wired Ethernet cards and one E-buyer value Ethernet card, I use E-Buyer value network leads for my wired desktops, and an upgraded Linksys antenna.
Works well on all, with a very reliable signal level and speed. It has never dropped the connection and works well sharing my Tiscali Broadband connection. I have found that it connects reliably and have used it to move large file including music and Video.
It was very easy to set up, so much so that I thought that I did it wrong it was so quick.
I use it on 6 computers and 2 of them run windows 98 and the others are XP SPK2. In the 6 or so months that I have had it there have been no problems on any of them.
The range with the original antenna was decent (certainly comparable with any other product). Though the Wireless range is now better with the upgraded antenna. I only did this as I needed the wireless to work in an outbuilding in my Garden.
I upgraded to the newer firmware, (downloading the recover tool as well, and make sure that you perform this task with a computer connected via wired not wireless) not as the signal was bad, but I wanted to make sure that I got the most out of my product, but I have noticed no change, no harm caused though.
This product also looks very good, is small and the v2 (version 2) that I use runs very cool. (I heard that the v1 can run hot, not a problem as I think that E-Buyer stocks the v2) I decided not to use mine on the vertical stands as it looked a little unstable, though the unit is small anyway, so not a problem.
I use mine on WEP encryption and it works well and it was easy to set up.
Overall I am glad that I decided to pay the little extra and buy mainly Netgear Wireless products including this router. It works well and has caused no problems. I don’t feel that it is worth spending more money on more expensive wired products though as the leads and Ethernet cards that I had to buy were E-Buyer value and they work great with this router.
Super Product
os:
Not ApplicableA really easy product to connect and get working and is proving really reliable. Mine has now been connected to the net for 120:30:59 (since I bought it!).
I am running a Windows 2000 Server Domain I have the workstation gateways set as the router and the DNS set as the server. Any DNS queries the server can't reply to sends direct onto the router and then onto ISP etc.
My laptop and the other 2 stand alone machines have the gateway and DNS pointing direct to router.
Super stuff
A great buy...
