<SNIPMuch has been written on this thread about,
Speedtouch 330 USB DSL modem Netgear DM602 router/modem
but a preliminary search on some uk suppliers this afternoon suggests the Netgear DM602 router/modem is no longer available here in the uk.
The model most often suggested is the,
NETGEAR DG834 ADSL Firewall £52.17 £61.30 inc VAT
Product Information
Anyone got any experience with this model ? Does work well ?
See http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=1291
Interesting !
one report in that review said,
"I have had one problem: every time my ISP renewed my IP address, the router failed to reconnect automaticaly and had to do it manually.It was really annoying since I am running a website behind the router, and this handicap compromised its stability.It turned out to be a firmware bug which was resolved after installing 1.03.07 firmware".
Also,
"A feature I miss is the SNMP support.There is no SNMP support at present for the DG834 nor it is previsted for the forthcoming firmware".
What pray is SNMP support ? and is that important?
I also note that DHCP can be turned off, if that should ever be important, cannot think when that would be,but maybe there are times when you need to do that.
