Hi Christy
Here is what it says at Netgear web site: "Double Firewall
using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Intrusion Control
features Denial of Service protection from hacker attacks
..."
http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/WiredRouters/DG834.aspx
Since I have bought mine serveral years ago (ancient by
computer development standards) I am sure they have other
routers with advanced technology.
Now for the wireless router:
This is for the DG834G Router
http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/WirelessGRouters/DG834G.aspx
(Here you can see a comparison between their "G" and "N"
rated routers)
Below are SOME of its aspects
Physical Interfaces
a.. LAN Ports: Four 10/100 Mbps autosensing, Auto UplinkT
RJ-45 ports (one Cat 5 UTP cable included)
b.. WAN Port: ADSL RJ-11, T1.413, G.DMT, ADSL 2+, ITU
Annex A
c.. Wireless: 802.11g access point auto rate capable up to
54 Mbps
Security
a.. Firewall: Stateful packet inspection (SPI), intrusion
logging and reporting, denial-of-service (DoS) protection
a.. VPN functionality: Supports up to five (5) IPsec VPN
endpoints, VPN Wizard to assist in VPN setup, VPN
pass-through for IPsec, PPTP and L2TP VPN
b.. Mode of operation: Network Address Translation (NAT),
static routing
c.. IP address assignment: Static IP address assignment,
internal DHCP server on LAN, DHCP client on WAN
d.. Wireless: WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WEP, WPA-802.1x,
WPA2-802.1x
This is for the DG834N Router
Says it is NOT AVAILABLE in North America
http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/RangeMaxWirelessNRoutersandGateways/DG834N.aspx
Security
a.. Double Firewall:
a.. Network Address Translation (NAT) to hide PCs and
files from outside users
b.. Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall to deny
outside requests for personal information
b.. Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention
c.. Intrusion Detection and Prevent (IDS)
d.. WiFi protected Access (WPA2- PSK, WPA- PSK)
e.. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 64- bit, 128- bit
encryption
f.. Wireless Access Control using MAC address
authentication to identify authorized wireless network
devices

Hope this helps

Hi Bob,
I may be a little off on the price. I am pretty sure one
was 49.00 though
at least at bestbuy. I dont really understand what you mean
about a
firewall. I know there are security settings or something
you have to
adjust when setting up a router at least from years ago I
thought I recalled
that much. I use zone alarm for my two computers but I
guess you are
meaning something different. I know you have to secure
things somehow. I
am usine a modem on my desktop that connects me to cable
currently.

Hi
I have a Netgear DSL Router, model DG 384 and it is about 6
years old. It is a wired router and came with three
different types of firewalls. I have NEVER had any problems
with it, outside operator errors. The instructions are easy
to follow and therefore the router is easy to set up. There
were only about two companies making routers with these
firewalls back then. The cost was a little more then being
stated by Christy, if my memory serves me correctly.
I would suggest that you check and see if they make a
wireless router with these firewalls for your system.
That is my two cents worth.

I was just at Walmart a few days ago pricing netgear router
"G", was about
$49.00 I think and the next one up by netgear that had a
better range was
about $59.00 I think, bestbuy had it for $69.00 I think. I
was reading the
info below on networking equipment as I would like to
purchase a router for
my laptop but will only be using it in the house a few rooms
away from my
desktop. Is the adapter something separate you have to buy?
I have never
set up a router. I did have one before that my brother had
set up on my old
computer for my neice's laptop. Are they hard to set up if
I have to do it
myself? My desktop is XP home OS and my laptop is Vista.
thanks,
christy
