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.

Excellent item. Set up in no time, auto configured. Network seems really secure according to GRC.com. Great service from dabs, very good price and delivered in a couple of days.

This router is more configurable than you think!

If you know a bit about linux this router can open up tons of routing/logging and filtering possibilities. By default the web interface only allows a port to be forwarded not redirected, but port redirection can be acheived by using iptables within the shell. The router can also be used to host a very small web site! Yea, it is lost when the router looses power but you can recreate it by pasting instructions into the shell. A brilliant router with tons of features even without shell access. The wireless is great also, however you can't separate the wlan from the lan and both networks share the same subnet and dhcp server.

Title says it all really, easy to install and use. If you are still using an old speedtouch modem chuck it and get one of these, you'll be glad you did.
