Is my Netgear DG834G V2 router Adsl 2 compatible?

Wondering if it is cos i can upgrade through my isp to adsl 2. i see the new firmware says... The ADSL driver has been updated to improve ADSL2+ interoperability.

So am pretty sure it is, remember its V2 though.

No it is not. You need to buy either an ADSL2 Modem or an ADSL2 Router. I would suggest the latter for simplicty and tidyness.

Are you sure cos this guy says he it does work...

And why would the firmware say that?

the v2 is adsl2 compatible just not 100% as it will only sync at teh max of 12mb but will give you 1.3 up if on adsl2+. This was my experience with the v2 on O2, using their supplied router but have used a trusty 834gt

thanks tipsy, so is it not worth me upgrading to adsl2 until i get a new router?

u can pick up very cheap sky branded dg834gt router from that famous auction for as little as £15 and all you do is flash them. Who is your current isp? and if you on sync at a low speed the current router would do.. free speed is always worth it.
