Netgear DG814 getting flaky - Need a new wireless router

Aidoscuz · 30 Mar 2006 at 17:07

I've had my Netgear DG814 for a good while now, probably around 3 years. It's served me well for ages but it's starting to act up a bit at the moment. It frequently drops my internet connection and I have to reboot it to get it back. It's not a major problem, but it is pretty annoying.

Would a new router solve this? If it would I was thinking of getting the Netgear DG834G since this my current one worked so well for me. I currently have a wireless access point plugged in the DG814 but I was thinking of getting an all-in box to tidy things up a bit. Are there any alternatives I should consider or would the Netgear be the best option?

Thanks

For ADSL i'd look at WAG54GS or for Cable WRT54GS.

Very nice, good solid range, Fast, £rd party firmware and other cool stuff.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look into some of the ones you've recommended. Anyway does anyone know if a new router would be more reliable or if there's some problem with my ISP?

i would go for the Netgear DG834PN 108Mbps Rangemax Wireless ADSL2 Modem/Router/Switch/Firewall (NW-083-NG)
