Not heard of searching before asking ?
Some people have no problems with these, others like myself have so many
problems theyre just about unusable. A trip to google groups will answer
your every question.

Much better to ask for help in a place where you know there is some
expertise and where people face the same challenges.
Oh, I get it, you were pulling the questioner's leg. Why else answer
them with genuine advice?
For which I am grateful, being in the same floating vessel.

Works like a dream here - no problems at all - recommend quality adsl
filters (available from www.adslnation.co.uk) though as opposed to the ones
supplied with the kit

Any idea which ones they're supplying, please ? Peter M.

I think it only comes with 1 filter anyway (i havent used it as ive got an
ADSL master socket instead) but a few people say the supplied filter quality
isnt great. The master socket though id neater - less things dangling off
the other sockets in the house.

if it bothers you - ignore the thread as my subject line is more than clear
enough

How are problems with the DG814 model relevant to the OP question?
- Posted by aj on October 27th, 2003
The filter I was supplied with the DG824 is by Excelsus with that and
another from my alacatel modem I was getting the odd dropout of the ADSL and
noise on my telephone line - I got "quality" ones from adsl nation and the
line has not dropped once in 6 weeks and the line noise disappeared as soon
as I fitted them.

Q) does it have an on/off switch at the back or is it a power cord in and
its on
not that i'm fussy at all . . .
asking about netgear as someone on here a while ago said they were rubbish
but failed to back this up
thanks

can sometimes get into the admin area to reconnect, other times have to go
downstairs and pull the power out.
Havent tried changing the firmware yet.
I wouldn't recommend the 824 on my experience.

I can now reliably crash the router by loading eMule, WinMX and leaving it
for 6 hours.

I wouldn't recommend any Netgear, period. (it's a long story)
If you want no hassle get Draytek Vigor 2600We, bit more expensive but worth
it.

Martin
