Faster Than Ever
The DG834G 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 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. And, it boasts double the memory and a 50 per cent faster CPU than many popular routers.
Hassle Free
No need for a separate modem--this 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).

Now, I've always been worried about the thought of setting up a wireless router and network. In fact, I've always been doubly worried as I have the added disadvantage of being an AOL Broadband user.
However, I needn't have worried. Setting up the Netgear in conjunction with the software downloaded from the AOL site was a breeze. I was honestly up and running in under ten minutes.
One minor grouch (with AOL, not with the router itself) was that AOL didn't state anywhere how to get into the wireless router settings to change and customise the privacy settings. I actually found out about that by reading the reviews on here.
Five stars for Netgear, three stars for AOL.

After using a speed touch usb modem, I can see an increase in speed, I now have a permanent connection and it works well with the Macs new Tiger operating system. I am now going to add a buffalo G54 pmcia card to my Lombard Powerbook G3 with Panther to surf the web from around the house. At the moment I can plug in an ethernet cable to my laptop and surf from the livingroom. It recognises it straight away when turning on Safari as long as tcip settings are correct, now the kids can use the iMac and I can surf on my laptop, both downloading files at the same time!
Good piece of kit! Recommended for Mac users!

This piece of equipment is very good and stable; i have used it for over a year now, with 2 broadband providers. It has proven to be stable, flexible and secure.
You do need to keep an eye out for firmware updates, they improve the performance and stability of the router.
Most problems are due to lack of knowledge by the user, or isp problems.
I would recommend this router for anyone who wants to build a mixture of cable/wireless home network, with security and extra functionality (vpn, firewall, etc.)
