What's Hot

802.11n capability, great DSL sync speeds

What's Not

No Gigabit Ethernet, poor wireless data transfer speeds

The Final Word

Netgear’s DG834N provides good value in terms of router and modem capability and security features. We were very impressed with its modem sync speeds, but no Gigabit Ethernet and poor throughput speeds make this a poor router for heavy data transfer and media streaming needs.
