Hi
Wonder if someone could advise please.

I use a Netgear dg 834 v3 ethernet **wired router**
which works fine .

A friend wants me to bid the on the sim//same router ie
DG834 which can be used via wireless connection
OR by wired ethernet cable .
He intends useing it ethernet cable wired.

After doing a bit of reading on them (without finding the info i want)
I did find out that in *wireless mode* connection the router does not
work//download as fast as a WIRED connection.

So my question is.

As this router will work wireless OR wired//one or the other, if used wired
by ethernet
cable will it be as fast as my DG834 v3 which only works by cable please ?
or would the option of going wireless affect the wired performance
Thanks.

I find the DG834 is slower on wired than wireless, the v3 has a fault that
Netgear keep trying to fix. On wired, it stores up data and sends a bit,
then slows right down and backs off.
When people give you statements like "oh it's slow" - ask them why, if they
can't tell you - learn to take no notice!

A DG834G can provide both wireless *and* wired PC connections i.e.
simultaneously, with nominal speeds are 54Mbps and 100Mbps respectively.

Hi Gotde T Shirt,thanks for the link.

As stated I know little about this,as I said in first post
the router he wishes me to bid on for him (he knows less than me)
will do wired or wireless.
From reading the link you gave the way I see it is that if this router
is connected to computer by ethernet cable it will run @ a speed of
100mbps ?.
If used in wireless mode with usb adapter it will run/work @ a speed
of 54mbps,? so not as fast as it will if it's wired by ethernet cat5 cable.

Or have I got it all wrong ?,when I click on *my* LAN it shows speed
of 100mbps,my router is not the DG834g version it's just says DG834
on the bottom.
All I wish to know is if this DG834g is wired with a ethernet cable to the
computer as mine is, will it work//run @ the same speed as mine ie show
100mbps .
Sorry if being bit dim.
Don't like buying for other people but he wants to get connected.

Do need to know by midday 8th as auction ends,so if anyone can
clear this up for me would appreciate.

Thanks.

Between the router and the PC. yes, nominally. Won't speed up your
internet connection tho. If you have other kit using it as a hub, taht
will be improved tho.


It may, on a good day with a following wind. In general its about half that.


No, but if there are no other machines on the network, who cares?

Should do.

### Lots of people. You will find interent downloads slower with a poor
wireless connection as opposed to cat5.
