Product Description

 

Wireless or Wired Instant Broadband Access with Internet Sharing
This 802.11g and Super G wireless router adds considerable power and flexibility to your network. Five products in one, the NETGEAR DG834GT combines an ADSL modem, router, 10/100 LAN switch, 108 Mbps Super G access point and SPI Double Firewall. It gives you untethered continuous connectivity to your network resources and the Internet and allows you to share your broadband access with all of your networked computers wirelessly or with wires using Ethernet cables. Featuring high-speed 802.11g and Super G wireless capability – up to ten times faster than 802.11b – it allows you to download large files, videoconference, and distribute and play high-quality digital movies, byte-hungry photos, and smooth, long-range MP3s and digital movie streams at long range in the blink of an eye. Simple to use, the NETGEAR DG834GT plugs directly into your ADSL line. An integrated switch lets you directly connect four computers or any combination of four computers, access points or printers. Setup couldn’t be easier – NETGEAR’s Smart Wizard install assistant and on-screen help guide you through each step. The Smart Wizard automatically detects and makes the best connection to your ISP while graphical user interface is available in English, French, German and Italian. A true Firewall protects your network with business-class security against intruders, including logs and alerts of break-in attempts, while VPN pass-through makes it safe to connect to your business network from home or office. The contemporary, sleek design of this unit suits your home or office. Future upgrades to firmware can be obtained via the Internet.

Faster Than Ever
The NETGEAR DG834GT gives you instant connectivity with or without wires, and works with your existing 802.11b devices as well as your new 54 Mbps 802.11g and Super G devices. 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.

Hassle Free
No need for a separate modem – the NETGEAR DG834GT unit connects directly into your ADSL line. Built-in Port Forwarding settings, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through make it simple to play Internet games, send instant messages, and host Internet services. User interface matches your local language (English, French, German or Italian). It supports PCs, Macintosh®, and virtually all Ethernet devices, and comes with a free Ethernet cable for connecting your first computer.

Secure
True Firewall using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Intrusion Control features Denial of Service protection from hacker attacks, while VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through permits secure access to your office or corporate network and enables you to host VPN services. Content filtering lets you control access to inappropriate web sites and limit usage by time of day. Logs browsing activities and provides optional e-mail alerts so you can monitor access. DMZ support allows unrestricted access from the Internet to one computer (for hosting web services).

review by: alex shallcross rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

this router is with out a word of a lie the best avaiable. it is easy to use and as with all netgear software is easy to understand. it took my about 10 mins to setup with my broadband connection. if you are condering buying a combined router with adsl and wireless this router is the one. i would surgest that if you are considering buying the U.S sureconnect adsl router that you Reconsider that and buy this cuz it is alot better. and just to point out i had alot of trouble with the U.S robotic router.

You won't be disappointed with this babe!
review by: Shah Noor rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

Worked straight out of box. Took only 3 minutes to connect to my ADSL. Sleek design complimented with the usual Netgear quality. No manuals, although there is a startup guide but as it is so easy to setup you don't even have refer to one. No complaints, just hope it survives the other rigid tests to come....deserves a five star!!!

Got this router today, easy to set up, connects to your ISP with minimal fuss. Works with AOL broadband which is a plus and you can get 108Mbps with the right wireless cards (i got the PCI ones).

Wicked Product.

Excellent wireless modem router
review by: Anonymous rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

This is an excellent piece of kit, extremely easy to install and it just works great. My BT ADSL connection takes no password and the router would not connect connect to the internet, so I phoned support and they emailed me a new firmware version that works also when no password is set for the adsl connection. Now it all works great. I have installed D-Link 802.11g and this one and by far I think this is a much better product. Finally it looks great too.

Superb
review by: Tom Drake rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

This router is very very good and you dont really need to know anything about networking to use it, i had problems to begin as i had typed in my details wrong my ISP told me everything i needed to know, also the ADSL kept disconnecting and so did the wireless, but this was solved by downloading the updates from the netgear website and they are very easy to instal.
I could do it very easily and i am only 16
So buy this as it is awesome

SO FAR SO GOOD!
review by: Alistair Campbell rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

I got this after my Belkin 54g ADSL router died (thank god, it was absolutely diabolical!) and in comparison this is great - took very little setup, the connection quality is good with the WG111T 108mb USB adaptor (a constant 54mbs through a thick exterior wall, aluminium and 30 feet of air-the belkin would drop the connection constantly even in the same room), just fingers crossed it'll last as I see others have had problems with reliability.

So so easy and looks good too!!
review by: Tony Borgioli rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

I have used this with the Netgear WG311T 108mbps 802.11g Wireless PCI Card and setting them both up was a breeze.

I was terrified at the thought of doing this and had a mates phone number handy in case it all went pear shaped.

I need not have worried. I had the whole lot up and running within half an hour.

The whole thing looks quite good too seeing as it's sat in the living room!

Superb, buy it….

Awesome
review by: Adrian Whitehouse operating system: Windows XP

This is so user friendly to set up that it takes minutes and works first time. Perfect for ADSL users on AOL
I cant give it enough praise. My Ipaq 5450 even connected using its built in wifi without any messing about.

I bought the ebuyer Wireless 54g+ 108mbps Card which compliments it a treat too.

My only gripe is I already had a Belkin PCMCIA 54g card (F5D7010) for my laptop and it keeps dropping the connection about every 10 minutes....on searching the net this is a known problem with this card and many suffering all down to the Belkin Card....alegerdly there is a firmware fix, but only available on Belkins website which at time of writing there site is down and has been now for 2 days...I will never ever, ever touch anything with Belkin in the future.
I wish I had of bought ebuyers PCMCIA 54g 108mbps card and a couple the replacement 5dbi gain antennas but to be honest I can not spend anymore money this side of christmas.

Works like a dream
review by: Jason Cheeseman rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

I've recently installed one for my brother and now one for me. I've upgraded from my Linksys G Router as I wanted better range and better performance and was also getting a lot of trouble from my standalone ADSL Modem which sat in front of it.

I bought a US robotics ADSL/Modem/Router which just turned out to be just a Router. Upgraded the firmware on it and it rebooted every 10 minutes - fast boot mind you but when you run a VPN to work like I do then it isn't acceptable. So I sent it back.

On plugging in the Netgear, you are up and running in seconds/minutes. The wizard is great. It has sucessfully figured out my brothers ADSL connection and mine with only the addition of a username and password to get onto the net.

One strange thing was the local IP address window. I've changed this to suit my local lan but some strange things started to happen - so I did a reboot from diagnostics and all was fine again. WPA actually works - thats a first for me on wireless (I played around for 8 hours on the Linksys to try and get all my devices working properly with it!).

Great bit of kit. It works, it doesn't reboot all the time like a lot of kit out there. The security is good and easy to configure. Gone on, go and buy one.

By the way, I've paired this up with a WG511T at my brothers and that works fine - after you've upgraded the driver for the card that is.
