just brought a DG834 off the basis of kitz excelent site (only found it yesterday !!!
)
mines the version 3 and its holding my line with a negative SNR margin !!!
I flashed it to the latest version from netgear's site and its synced higher and stayed connected just the same as other people have reported the V2 to behave,
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4960 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 48 db 13 db
Noise Margin 2147483646 db 25 db
did see it hover around 2 db earlier
my previous router was a cheap pti pae-81 router, similar to the amx one reviewed on adslguide,
its served me well until the max upgrade, where it would sync at 3772 and have a 12db snr, when ever that dropped below 11, it would lose sync and has caused me grief while gaming!.
going on even just a days worth of experience, that its not lost sync yet since its been on, gives me no quarms recommending it.
