There are several other models in the '834' family. Discussion of the differences may be appropriate. Bastie 11:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Might it be better to rename this page 'Netgear DG834 family' ? Adsbenham ( talk) 14:14, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
In the article only the first through 4th versions are mentioned, and I myself have only ever heard of versions up to 4 of this router but it seems that Netgear have recently started making a v5 so if anyone knows anything about it it would be worth mentioning.

My experience with the DG834Gv5 was appauling. In my opinion is is rubbish compared to the earlier DG834Gv3 which was a pretty good router. I found that the DG834Gv5 connected at lower speeds and more importantly could not cope at all with uploads. Starting an FTP upload would make any download, even say a 32k MP3 stream time out and stop. Firmware releases after 6.00.25 also seemed to me to be big steps backwards making the thing even more horrid to use. BrianDGregory ( talk) 21:46, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
The recent page move suggests that this page covers all DG834 devices. Does that include the DG834PN, the DG834GV, and a few others? If so, their coverage on this page would be welcome. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 07:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I think it should be mentioned that none of the models support IGMP or multiple PVCs (as far as I know). I believe IGMP might be possible with alternative firmwares, like DGteam's (and they should be mentioned, too), but not out-of-the-box. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 07:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
With everyone switching to fiber/VDSL2 I assume these devices are now completely useless? However the WGR614 of similar vintage presumably still has some value, though slow by modern standards. 2fort5r ( talk) 05:21, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
A recent edit removed the reference to BusyBox. I think that is useful information and should be in the article. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 11:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
