Reviews and Awards

Netgear - CRM Vendor of the Year award 2005"As one of the biggest names in networking it should come as no surprise that we don't have any qualms in recommending Netgear's wireless networking solutions. If you're interested in a full wireless solution, then we can't recommend the DG834G ADSL router enough. It's a feature-packed router that has an 802.11g access point, a four-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch and a full ADSL modem gateway. Though most routers tend to end up stashed away under the desk or behind a cupboard, we're glad to see that Netgear hasn't skimped on the DG834G's looks."

DG834GT Wireless 108 Mbps ADSL Router

"The Netgear DG834GT is a compact and simple box that offers an ADSL modem, a router, four 10/100 BASE-T switches, a 108Mbps Super G wireless access point and a firewall all in one package. Using a chip doubler, the Netgear can effectively gain an increased data throughput over that offered by a standard 54Mbps connection. What this means in practice is you?ll regularly achieve a data rate 38Mbps. This is a more than acceptable rate, especially considering the fact that we had full encryption running. "

April 2005 Computer Buyer 5 Star Review
DG834GT Wireless 108 Mbps ADSL Router

"One of the things that puts many people off wirelessly networking their home is the supposed complexity of the job. NETGEAR has done a very good job of tackling this. Its installation CD consists of an animated walkthrough that shows you exactly how to plug in the router, how to install it, and how to configure its settings. There are diagrams and descriptions for each step, so the whole process is easy. We had the router set-up and talking to a compatible NETGEAR 108 Mbit/s network card in under ten minutes."

June 2004 PC Advisor
NETGEAR MP101

Will said "NETGEAR's MP101 is simple to use and truly affordable. It's easy to set up, looks great and delivers on all it's promises. If you're interested in liberating your digital music from your PC but have been holding off buying a player, the MP101 is easily the best of what's currently available."

June 2004 Internet Magazine
NETGEAR DG834G

Roger Gann wrote "If this group test was a router beauty contest then the DG834G would win hands down. NETGEAR's familiar platinum case has been around for a while but it still lounge-friendly. Getting online was a stress free experience - in common with it's peers, the DG834G is Web-configured, a job made easier by its clear and clean user interface. The ever-present help pane provides useful suggestions when you're stumped for the right setting to choose."

NETGEAR DG834G

Mark Sparrow said "Setting up is a dream, and you can be online in minutes". After a description of setting the unit up, he continues "There's little else to say about this superb unit. The only criticism that could be levelled at it is its size. It could be a bit smaller, but it's hardly Titanic proportions and can be happily tucked away."

In summary, "The NETGEAR DG834G is an excellent solution for sharing a broadband connection without using wires. Simple, smart and effective with a very easy set up."

April 2004 PC Plus
NETGEAR DG834G

In summary, Dan Grabham says "NETGEAR has long been the choice for those in the market for a combined box, but it's only with the arrival of this unit that the networking specialist has upped the ante, bringing in the increasingly-prevalent 802.11g standard." And, "One of the most impressive features of the DG834G is its range. 100m better than most, and there's very little drop off over open distances. Performance never dropped below 60 per cent inside our large open-plan office."
