DG834
ADSL Firewall Router
with 4-port 10/100 Mbps switch
All-in-one Gateway for Always-on Broadband Access
with Internet Sharing
Four products in one, this multitalented firewall router combines an ADSL modem, router,
four-port 10/100 LAN switch, and SPI Double Firewall to deliver broadband access that’s
continuously available for sharing with all your networked devices. Simple to use, it plugs
directly into your ADSL line for instant connectivity to network resources and the Internet,
and an integrated switch lets you directly connect up to four computers or any combination
of four computers, access points or printers. Setup couldn’t be easier with NETGEAR’s unique
Smart Wizard install assistant helps to guide you each step of the way. The Smart Wizard also
automatically detects and makes the optimal connection to your ISP while the Double Firewall
protects your network with business-class security against intruders, including logs and alerts
of break-in attempts. VPN pass-through makes it safe to connect to your business network
from home or office. The DG834 router’s sleek, contemporary design is attractive for the
home/office environment. Upgradeable enhancements are available via the Internet.
One router supplies your network with impressive capabilities. 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. The router distributes MP3s, digital movies and photos with ultra-fast 10/100
switched LAN ports capable of speeds of 200 Mbps and and shares a single IP address with all the
networked devices in your home. Upgradeable to ADSL 2+ for speeds up to 24 Mbps.
No need for a separate modem – it 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. The user
interface matches your local language (English, French, German or Italian). Works with PCs,
Macintosh®, and virtually all Ethernet devices, and comes with a free Ethernet cable for connecting
your first computer.
Double Firewall using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Intrusion Control features Denial of
Service protection from hacker attacks, while VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through permits
secure access to your office or corporate network and enables you to host VPN services. Content
filtering lets you control access to inappropriate web sites and limit usage by time of day. Logs
browsing activities and provides optional e-mail alerts so you can monitor access. DMZ support
allows unrestricted access from the Internet to one computer (for hosting web services).
