Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR DG834 ADSL Modem Router. The DG834
ADSL Modem Router is a combination of a built-in ADSL modem, modem router, 4-port switch,
and firewall which enables your entire network to safely share an Internet connection that
otherwise would be used by a single computer.
About the Modem Router
The DG834 ADSL Modem Router provides continuous, high-speed 10/100 Ethernet access
between your Ethernet devices. With minimum setup, you can install and use the modem router
within minutes.
The DG834 ADSL Modem Router provides multiple Web content filtering options, plus e-mail
alerts and logging. Parents and network administrators can establish restricted access policies
based on time of day, Web site addresses, and address keywords. They can also share high-speed
ADSL Internet access for up to 253 personal computers. The included firewall and Network
Address Translation (NAT) features protect you from hackers.
The DG834 v3 also supports Trend Micro Home Network Security, a bundle of services that
includes router-based Parental Controls and network-wide protection from viruses, Trojans,
spyware, spam, and other Internet threats.
Note: If you are unfamiliar with networking and routing, refer to “Internet Networking
