You could add the DG834G using a cable from the DG834 to the back of the DG834G (eg Lan port 1 to lan port 1) Tuen off the DHCP in the DG834G and it should work as an access point.

1) It'll do fine for a few years but it'll degrade, the sheathing isn't designed to withstand the elements, a mix of heavy rain and sun will particularly screw it up, since it only has to last a few months, there'll not be much extreme sunlight so you wont have a problem. Cat6 may be a little tougher still. 2) Silicon will do. 3) Any clips that'll hold it down will be spot on. 4) just fill it with regular filler and...

in terms of bandwidth 500kbps is almost nothing to the PCI bus, first step I think would be to change the driver, ideally upgrade but if using latest then downgrade to the next one down, if that doesnt sorted it post back.

Re: Friends wireless, msn... Port forwarding? Or Xp firewall? Check which ports need forwarding then config the router mate. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

*deep breath* Most people forget that not only is P2P used legitimately, but it is also used by people in countries where Freedom of Speech and/or Freedom of Expression does not exist, like in China. Acitivists use P2P as an outlet/inlet of information that would otherwise be censored or worse. Copying art is as old as art itself.

Are you on XP? What browser are you using? What network card is it? AFAIK - It could be the concurrent TCP/IP events handler. Concurrent connections on XP is only set as 40 or something low like that, and you would need to edit the registry key(s) that relate to the TCP/IP settings. I dont know any more than that as there's an executable I run to change these.

Re: Friends wireless, msn... It's not actually. There's a mac upstairs (probably about double the distance away from the router than the computer) which works fine with msn, but it's got built in wifi. Just realised that lol, pretty sure it's the wireless dongle which isn't picking up a big enough signal from the router then?

As probably most of us VM customers know traffic shaping has been forced on us by new directors and legislation. I have a 20mb service which at total max I have only got 14mb (very rarely) and after a certain amount of bandwidth use I have gone from 254kB/s this morning to a fantastic 30kB/s. I actually chose VM (then telewest) because of the unlimited broadband package they had, but ...

Hi, i've been wanting to add wireless access to my mums current setup, and want the cheapest way to do it please. She currently has a Netgear DG834 (no wireless) for her ADSL broadband. I've tried swapping it out for a DG834G that i had spare (can't remember the revision number), but it became very flakey, so i had to swap back again. What is the best thing to add on to the DG834 ...

I am subscribed to BT broadband on a one year basic package (the lowest you can get). I am at the furthest reach of the system so my speeds would be so poor that to subscribe to anything except basic would waste money (plus when it rains it sometimes does not connect at all, oh what fun). I am now about 2 months in to my renewal (I had no problems with them so thought I would keep them...

The netgear was a pain in the arse really so I would prefer to stay away from them this time (although its a matter of opinion I guess) Dont want to over spend, something around the £50 mark - roughly. Nothing special I need really, a few things I would need the router to have: -...

Ok, so not horrific as such. One year ago I changed from Pipex 2meg to Pipex Max, I knew my speeds would never achieve 8. But the most I got was about 1.9, pretty consistently, my local exchange is not unbundled so its on BT Ipstream equipment. At the time my friend who works for o2 support suggested my BRAS profile was stuck, I mentioned this to Pipex and they dismissed it ...
