Netgear DG834G

Has anyone used / have experience with this modem router - i have seen mixed reviews online ( lower throughput then others but decent wireless range ) - with newer firmware updates seems to be improved in some areas.

Yes router this works fine for me also but early firmwares gave problems Rev 1.5 has been rock steady for me for months now....Enjoy.

If you do a google search on this you will find that there is even adsl2 firmware out there for it. Seems to be very popular in Australia for some reason.

i used to have the 11mbs one, and it was great. never had any problems at all, and very easy to set up and use.
i cant imagine they have made the newer releases any different.

I intermittently get problems (maybe twice a month) with it, but mostly excellent. All problems have been solved by a reset - i.e. pull out the power, then re-attach it.

The range is OK for a 3 storey house, could be more but I have internal Airport card in a Mac laptop which has sh1te range anyway, so I can't tell if it's the wireless card or the Netgear - I'm assuming the former.

I haven't tried the beta firmware, but am on the most recent approved version. Seems grand.

I have one of these too, had some trouble with the wireless but a firmware update solved that. The latest beta firmware i've been using has caused no problems so far.

I have that one and it's excellent. I had lots of problems with 2 of the previous models and Netgear gave me the upgrade for free. Outstanding aftersales service.
