Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Four products in one, this multitalented firewall router combines an ADSL modem, router, four-port 10/100 LAN switch, and SPI True Firewall to deliver broadband access that's continuously available for sharing with all your networked devices. Simple to use, it plugs directly into your ADSL line for instant connectivity to network resources and the Internet, and an integrated switch lets you directly connect up to four computers or any combination of four computers, access points or printers. Setup couldn't be easier with NETGEAR's unique Smart Wizard install assistant helps to guide you each step of the way. The Smart Wizard also automatically detects and makes the optimal connection to your ISP while the True Firewall protects your network with business-class security against intruders, including logs and alerts of break-in attempts. VPN pass-through makes it safe to connect to your business network from home or office. The unit's contemporary, sleek design suits your home or office, and it's wall mountable to save valuable desk space. Upgradeable with new enhancements via the Internet.
One router supplies your network with impressive capabilities. 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. The router distributes MP3s, digital movies and photos with ultra-fast 10/100 switched LAN ports capable of speeds of 200 Mbps and and shares a single IP address with all the networked devices in your home. Boasts double the memory and a 50% faster CPU than many popular routers.
No need for a separate modem it connects directly into your ADSL line. Built-in Port Forwarding settings, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) passthrough make it simple to play Internet games, send instant messages, and host Internet services. The user interface matches your local language (English, French, German or Italian). Works with PCs, Macintosh , and virtually all Ethernet devices, and comes with a free Ethernet cable for connecting your first computer.
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).

This is the product for you if
1. You want to connect more than one computer to a single ADSL service.
2. You want to use an ethernet local network (althought Netgear also produce a wireless network version).
3. You want to protect your network from the Internet.

Just ignore the single-PC modem which your service provider supplied (but make sure you're not voiding your agreement by connecting your own kit). Follow the simple instructions with the DG834 and away you go, with up to four computers (more if you add another switch or hub). It took me about 10 minutes.
I've tried several bits of kit and recommend this as the easiest to set up, smallest (and best looking!).

After reading the other reviews I was still a little sceptical about this product since I had tried more than 3 other products to try to network my home computers (one iMac, a desktop PC and a laptop) before this arrived. I'm also not very technical so I suppose that didn't really help either. However, despite my reservations, I had the network up and running on all three systems within 30 minutes of opening the box - amazing.
The product is also very appealing visually (can't some of these manufacturers employ people with a little more artistic flair?) and isn't desktop-intrusive and can be mounted on the wall if necessary.
As a Mac and PC user I have found it difficult sometimes to get reliable advice on networking in the past, but do not fear, after configuring the PCs (with the wizard) the Mac just configured itself (no surprise there then). Don't be disappointed if the wizard doesn't initially give you a connection when it is installing (I asked it to "TEST") - the page refreshed about 3 times and then the connection was up and running.
JOY OF JOYS, no more swapping USB modems etc etc etc. If you are considering this as an alternative from the network packages sold by your ISP for Home Networking there is really nothing to consider. My ISP wanted to sell me a package that cost almost £200 and I still needed an additional piece of equipment which they didn't sell, couldn't advise me where to buy and which I couldn't find anywhere online. Save yourself some time and money, hassle and additional expense by getting this all in one!

I needed an easy solution that could connect up 2 of my home computers up together. This product did exactly that in about 20 minutes!
Both my computers are in the same room and I needed to network these up so that I could share files, the printer and the broadband connection. I needed to have a switch, a router, a broadband modem and a firewall. Instead of buying these items separately, the Netgear ADSL firewall router has all 4 products in one!
All I had to do was connect up a couple of wires and install the software and I was up and running.
Also the Netgear works very well with BT broadband. In fact the Netgear modem works 10 times better than the modem given to me by BT.
Conclusion:
If you want install a wired network then this is one of the best products out there. It has everything you need and is very easy to install. On top of everything else it is great value for money. Highly recommended.
