This is possibly your ISP balancing pipes or performing maintenance on their equipment. It means that your session with your ISP has been terminated for some reason - but it's nothing to do with the quality of your phone line or anything.

Googling around I see that this has been a pretty common phenomenon with the DG834 in the past, but more recent firmware seems to have largely fixed it. Have you got the latest firmware installed?

I have long thought about buying a DG834 router but due to relunctance and varying reports until now I was not sure whether to take the plunge.

The thing I didn't like hearing about the DG834G was how people experience wireless problems which are only solved by a power reset. Equally, the routers have a decent reputation for ADSL performance and the browser interface is decent and well featured.

Meanwhile I am fed up with the dumbed down Home Hub.

So I have ordered a plain DG834 and i'll find an old wireless router and commandeer it for a seperate wireless access point. Then, whilst I might have two devices, I hope that the Netgear will prove stable and serve me well over the wire  whilst the access point can throw wobblies and mess me about seperately with any wireless clients.

So I will see how it goes. Out of interest, has anyone here had any issues with the netgear throwing wobblies?

I have had a DG834GT for about a year  and have had no problems at all with it.  Before that I had a DG632 for a few years and that was also very stable.  I've always found them easy to set up and use (though I'm not particularly technical) but I have no experience with other makes.  I hope you find the 834 to be ok in use.

Hi,
I bought a DG834 v2 last year when my Speedtouch 530 started to fail (they run too hot in my view). It's been very good, so easy to set up and reliable, has held connection at 8128 kbps right down to < 0 noise margin and 36 db attenuation. I renewed wiring so now don't get such low SNR but still goes down to 2 db.
Also, I recently bought a v3 for a church office, it's within site of the exchange, works great as expected, 2 pc's connected, expect to network a printer with it very soon.
My friend has a the wireless version (v2), again solid a rock on 2Mb connection.
Terry.

Cheers for the feedback, I am glad that the units are a bit more reliable than the user review make out :)

I look forward to seeing how it performs on the line here, as the ADSL sync speed has been declining with the same margin, which I suspect is the result of a developing line fault, however I have no way of knowing for sure, since I know very little about all the different types of faults.

With the Home Hub, it reports maximum line attenuation, with a sync speed of 448/1,280Kbps and SNRM of 8.0/7.0 respectively. Given at one time we had 1.6mbps at the same margin something isn't quite right. Our home is detatched and a good distance away from other properties, as are the aerial telephone cables, so I can't think it is down to "local factors" alone. Estimated line length is around 4.6km I believe.

Just received the Netgear. Straight out the box, plugged up, fully started up within a few seconds, log in without delay, se PPP username/pass and away we go. So quick and painless, around one minute from powering on and i'm online.

Interestingly, last time I checked the home hub was synced 1280k down with a 7dB noise margin, checked now on the netgear and it is 1536k down with a 9dB margin. Much better  :) I think this is the version 3, the sticker on the packaging says " *9DG834-300UKS* ". Well I am certainly happy with it so far in the first few minutes.

Glad to hear that all is well with a DG834.
The label on the bottom should say which version it is - by the Netgear' word.  Also v3 is 'ADSL2+' on the box.
Latest firmware is v4.01.20; the v3 I recently set up came with V4.01.06 installed.
See http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/dg834v3.asp for firmware download.
