Description
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% faster CPU than many popular routers.
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.

Wow!
I bought this ADSL2+ router on the way home from Manchester today (17/12/07) and it was up and running correctly within ten minutes. The SmartSetup wizard made setting the router up a breeze, however, I did outpace it and complete steps before it asked me to do them. The router's got a really easy configuration page which is laid out well and provides a help system on the right of every page which explains things thoroughly and goes through anything you might not know. Overall, a good router - albeit slightly pricey.

Excellent Router
This is a brilliant router for home use, very good value for money. It performs well and setup is easy and quick, even quicker if you have some experience with networking. I would recommend this to anyone.

Multiple installs of this router
I have installed this router for various friends and family and it is excellent value for money, a very reliable and robust unit. The reason I dropped to 4 stars for ease of use was a slight issue with 1 install where I had to call Netgear and their call centre was slightly slow to respond. Otherwise excellent
