Hi,

Have bought a Netgear DG834N. Can anyone of you recommend a bit of software whereby i can view/manage the router (i hate the web interface personally). Just something nice and simple would do.

Also, how do i get Outlook Express to receive mail via the router connection?

Many Thanks

hi, i have the same router and as far as i know the web interface is the only way you can administer a router. In my opinion it was simple to use and set up!

Re: Outlook - I think you go to account settings then there should be a connections tab. You select the option where it says 'connect using'....Local Area Network. I haven't used it in ages so hope Im not mixing it up with something else.

Ah excellent re the outlook tip. Worked perfectly!

no probs - stick at the web interface with the router... u'll have it tweaked to your liking in no time although I would have to agree that it is aesthetically very poor
