Worth getting?
Reviewed by Mel. Review Posted 03/01/2007

For the price alone, this is worth buying. Connection is swift if you read the literature provided, pretty much fool-proof. Connected a Mac G5, a Windows based laptop, and a Xbox 360, all woking with no problems. Put my own personal web site online in minutes and my Broadband connection increased by over a meg since I installed, (had a Speedtouch usb modem beforehand, enough said!). Very discreet and so far, reliable. Thanks for the next day delivery service, Amtrak have been excellent on 3 different occasions.

31.01.31
Reviewed by Darren. Review Posted 09/01/2007

If it's one thing this Router has got going for it, is a firewall, that so far as I can tell, is about the best I have ever seen. Simplistic this product may be, but in short, an absolutely stunning piece of hardware if you've always wanted to get rid of software firewalls that just - basically - slow the whole show down. Firmware 31.01.31 is out there if you can get it. I've been using it for a few weeks and the stability and performance is just stupidly impressive and never drops. The only thing that will fail is the BT phone line you're using. Period.

Reviewed by James Napier. Review Posted 04/05/2007

Brought this as I needed a modem and more ethernet ports for my LAN. Setup was easy except Broadband would not function (due to presence of another router). Netgear was brilliant, talked me through and resolved the problem. (Default gateway must be manually set to the router/modem IP address). Excellent equipment.

DG834UK
Reviewed by Simon. Review Posted 25/10/2005

Having previously had dial up, broadband is something
new to me.
So many routers/modems to choose from makes
it a difficult decision.
Bought DG834UK after seeing it recommended
by my new broadband ISP 'Metronet'.
Plugged in the cables, loaded the cd and all was done
in under 30 minutes.
Brilliant piece of kit for someone like me with little technical knowledge of PC's.

not being a coputer wizkid and needing a decent router for when my broadband is upgraded i read these reviews and decided to go for it.

installing and setting up this item was so fast and easy it was untrue. it found all my connections and set them up for me. Only thing i did wrong was when it asked for my login name i was ading the ADMIN/PASSWORD prompt it asks you to add at the begining of the setup. so a quick call to NETGEAR and within 2 mins they had me sorted. very helpful and friendly. First thing i then did was upgrade the firmware from the Netgear website which installed within 5 mins.

i have found this item so fast and stable to use compared to my previous USB Modem.

A quick security check has found the firewall to be working excellently.

would definitely recomed

Netgear DG834 (Wired)
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 06/08/2005

I was impressed by how easy the modem/router is to set up.
I plugged everything in, and the wizard set everything up very quickly. All I had to do was input my ISP logon and password and everything was done for me.
The only thing I had to set up manually was to change my e-mails from connect via dial-up, to connect via network.
It looks pretty good too, so it's unfortunate that mine needs to be positioned on the floor between a desk and the wall.
Only one Cat 5 LAN cable is supplied, and this is sufficient to connect the nearest computer, but it's no trouble to buy more of the correct lengths for your particular needs.
I have networked only 2 computers, leaving 2 more available LAN ports, so I may decide to network our photo-quality printer too by connecting it to the router by an available adaptor.

DG834 FTP
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 15/04/2004

So impressed with the one I bought for home that I bought the same for work when we upgraded to ADSL. I've had no problems with FTP in either direction (I do use PASV mode as this seems a common problem with FTP servers).

Installed in a few minutes, detected settings and away. No need to use the CD. Clear quick start leaflet in good English was all I needed. Browser based interface is comprehensive and clear with, again, good English in the explanations and help.

Fine
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 10/06/2004

No problems connecting to BT Broadband, using XP computers. It has a setup wizard that figures out the line protocol so I didn't even have to specify that. The default parameters were fine. It really was a 10 minute task from unpacking to using
