NETGEAR DG834 ADSL Firewall Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My previous DSL modem/firewall/router was plagued by buggy software and frequent crashes requiring constant reboots of the device. When I purchased the DG834, I was hoping that it was a superior product, and I was not disappointed.
Setup really was simple. I had it up and running in under three minutes! It correctly detected my DSL settings and auto-configured itself mostly. I of course changed the default password (as everyone should) and that was it.
Some nice features are the ability to block sites that you don't want users on your network to be able to visit (which is a big plus for me), and you can have it block sites by keyword, IP address or domain name, a very handle feature which my previous device lacked.
Also, being able to have the network/router logs and alerts e-mailed to you on a regular basis or when certain conditions are met (such as a blocked site that someone tried to access) is another huge plus.
From a security standpoint the DG834 is rock solid. I tested the firewall using a very extensive port scan, and it had all the ports stealthed out of the box and correctly logged the port-scan in it's internal log. Very impressive!
Overall the DG834 is a fantastic purchase, well worth the price. It has shown itself to be a very stable, reliable and user-friendly modem/firewall/router that I am very pleased with.
