Good Points: Setup and ease of use
Bad Points: Overheats despite good ventilation and cool weather.
General comments: I have now had 2 replaced so am on my 3rd. Each one acts the same way. After being switched on for 3 hrs it appears to overheat and lose its connection. Therefore I do not recommend the Netgear DG834G.

Great router, quite easy to setup , picks up LLC-Based and not the fact it is supposed to be VC-Based (VC-Mux), also when using very long WPA-2SK keys laptops cant connect. However I well recommend this Netgear Wireless Modem firewall router.

Sky broadband gave us this router when we signed up. It worked straight out of the box. In 6 months, I think I've only had to reset the thing once. Compared to a lot of other home routers, that's excellent.Things I miss though: a QoS (quality of service) feature for prioritising internet gaming traffic. The ability to kick an IP address from the DHCP server.These are reasonably advanced functions though. I've worked with networks a fair bit and I like to have lots of toys available.Port forwardi ...

This product is excellent. I got it working straight away and was very happy until...... I Found loads of "dead spots" in the house. It seemed to work sometimes and then not others. In the end I have figured out what is the issue. I use a video sender from my Sky box to another TV in the house. Turned this off and hey presto - wireless working everywhere. I guess I need to check on which frequency it was sending and try to get them on separate. Anyway - one to watch out for.
I now have my main ...

The Netgear DG834G is expensive but worthwhile (quality obviously comes at a price).

Overall, the DG834G is excellent for the home user and home office based worker accessing work via VPN.

Having just gone online and performed a number of searches, I have just realised that I am not the only person having problems with these routers/modems.
I acquired the Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router as part of a package when I subscribed to Sky Broadband. I have had nothing but trouble with it since I set it up. I have now followed the advice I found on the web, and I have attached the "feet" to enable the router to stand on one end. Allegedly, this will cure th ...

I bought 2 of these as they seemed good value. So good in fact, I bought them because I couldn't not. I did not even have a home for 1 of them, but I gave it to my mum in the end. She had a Speedtouch 330 modem which kept kicking her offline, and the Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router solved that problem straight away. I love them, and I am about to buy another. They are so simple to set up and they work very well. Good wireless reception as well.
I love it! Can someone ...

For months now I've been struggling with my BT 105 Voyager ADSL modem using the Eciadsl Linux driver, but with the repeated syncronisation problems, disconnections and general unpredictability I decided it was time to invest in an Ethernet modem. Then I discovered the Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router on Amazon.
This is an awesome piece of all in one hardware, that's a real dream to configure through Firefox/IE (great idea). It's reliable, secure and fast. I only wish ...

I am extremely proud of being the owner of a wonderful Netgear DG384G wireless router. I've only had it a few days, but I can safely say that nobody will regret this buy!
Since we are good customers, AOL decided to give us a free wireless router as a little present. This definitely wasn't a cheap present! The router itself is worth over £65!
The router is both a wireless connector and an Ethernet switchboard. Therefore you've got two types of good routers in one! The wireless signals ...

I purchased the Netgear DG834G in November 2005 as my Belkin Router decided to pack up 2 months out of warranty.
Connected it up with no problems (I am not the most experienced Networker!) It was much easier than the Belkin.
It appears to have a good range but I am unable to test it at the moment as my laptop in for repair.
There's not really any more you can say ..I plugged it in and it has worked ever since.

I have owned the Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router for more than 3 months to date. It's fantastic, and it is easy to install, though I was misguided by AOL's customer care initially, it's on since installation. It is excellent, great value for money, and it works throughout my house. I bought this as there was no telephone point in my study room, and I have no regrets. I have recommended this router to many friends.

I have owned the Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall router for over a month now, and it is fantastic. I have had no problems It is so easy to install, and I run two laptops off it and a PC, and they all work fine. The 54mbps means nothing to me because I don't share; I just use it for sharing my broadband connection. I live in a larger than average house, and it works fine throughout, and even in the rear/front gardens. It stands upright to save space, so I have mine hidden behin ...

Here's my review of the Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Firewall Router:
Design:
If there were such a thing as a router beauty contest, then the DG834G would win any day. It ships in a cool white case and can even be put on a cool looking stand to make it look even more flashy.
In common with many of its rivals, the DG834G no longer has a power switch but who needs one of them. It does have the usual green and amber LEDs on the front, for ADSL sync, wireless LAN activity and a li ...
