This is the product for you if1. 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 c...

netgear adsl modem router
I read the reviews here on amazon and other web sites before i bought it from Amazon. I am always sceptical about how easy things are to set up until i do it myself.Let me reassure any prospective buyers out there that this modem is DEAD EASY to set up. Firstly if you have an existing broadband USB modem and ISP, uninstall the software for the existing modem and detach the USB modem before proceding.Put the setup cd in the drive and follow all the steps. It really is that easy.It tells you...

Better than anything else (and I've bought the t-shirt)
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 thes...

This router is utterly fabulous
Previously I used an ADSL modem with AOL, whilst it was workable there were glitches from time to time and a fair amount of rebooting the modem or re-installing the modem software.Received the DG834. Plugged it into the phone socket using the supplied filter and connected the power supply. After a few seconds of flashing LEDs it had connected itself no problem.Plugged the supplied network cable between the router and my PC.I connected to the router from Internet Explorer and typed in my AO...

It really is so easy
I must admit I approached this with a bit of trepidation. I'd had my BT supplied USB modem since having broadband installed a couple of years ago. I'd also set up a small network at the same time with one PC accessing the internet through the other - so could only imagine what reconfiguring horrors awaited me!I popped the router in to replace my old one, plugged the modem cable in to the wall and within 30 minutes of opening the box it was all humming along. I'm sure it runs faster than my o...

Great router - but use 'manual set up' before putting it through a window...
I bought myself a new games console and on purchasing said machine learned that I needed a router to get on-line with it. I've never dallied in routers before so I was praying that it would be easy to figure out. This one is, eventually. You will note on other reviews that people comment on the installation - they're right. It seems to be a bit hit and miss as to whether you get an installation CD that works properly (ie. that recognises the router is connected to the computer). If it doesn...

Outstanding
I'm going to keep this short. Basically, if you need a router, get this. Usually when a product claims to be "easy to set up", I'm somewhat skeptical. But this product really is. Plugging the equipment in takes a couple of minutes, configuration takes less time still. In all, you're going to be ready to go within 5 minutes. Although, when I say configuration, I didn't actually have to configure anything. I went to the default web address for the router, input my router and IS...

Outstanding piece of kit
I recommend this MOST highly to amateurs and experts alike!I read all about the Netgear DG 834 on several well known review sites before buying, and it was consistently the most highly rated by users and techies alike. Like most people, the biggest factor was price. To get the 3 separate pieces of hardware offered here in one box here (a modem a router and a firewall) would normally cost hundreds of pounds. The second thing that attracted me to it was the comments by people on how easy i...

Excellent product and great value for money
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...

Excellent value piece of hardware
I bought a DG834 in order to share my 512k Wanadoo broadband connection between my three desktops (all XP), one laptop (ME) and an Xbox.The setup was VERY easy. The connections were simple (one Cat5 cable to each PC, one RJ11 to the telephone line, one power lead). PC configuration was equally simple (Ensure TCP/IP protocol is enabled and set as default for your LAN cards. Set all PCs to automatically obtain an IP and DNS address. Disable any PC based firewalls.) The internet connection ...
