I have tried downloading the latest version of firmware for it (on another pc and router), and I was planning to transfer that download on a memory stick to my pc to install in my router. Unfortunately, the download complains about my search engine (IE8) although IE8 is on the Netgear list of usable engines. Searching the web, it seems others have had the same problem - the download complained about the search engine. There was someone who suggested to that other person with the same download problem as me that they use a different link (which this person supplied). The other person did use it, and they got a download, but when they installed it, it made their router unusable. Even the recovery download wouldn't work so they binned their router.
I would like to get this router working again if I can, so if anyone has any suggestion, I would be very grateful to hear from them.
Thanks

http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/other/
and enter
DG834Gv2
in the search bar
There's a whole load of downloads there including the missing manuals.
For upgrading use "DG834 and DG834G Firmware Version 3.01.31 (for use in UK only)"
There's also the "DG834G Router Recovery Utility"
BUT
Being an Americant website, before you can download the Firmwares, it requires registration before you can download their client experience
What ever you place in the boxes is up to you.
Happy landings
For super [linux] geeks check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netgear_DG834_%28series%29
or google
"netgear debug mode dg834g"

1. Use "compatibility mode" in IE.
2. Open up the case and look inside. Older Netgear routers often suffer from blown capacitors.
3. Check the power supply and/or try another. They can degrade producing reduced voltage or current or both.

Thanks HPsauce. I have looked inside the router, but can see no problem with any capacitors - no burning or bulging, etc. I haven't checked the psu yet. Will have to see what I can do about that.

No need, there's a "continue without registration" link, small but underlined, just to the right of the main button highlighted in red.

Thanks HP!!!! I was a little too small for my very little screen.
The version 3.01.31download is the one needed in the UK for any copper Broadband as this does all of that ADSL2 stuff.
The factory default firmware may not sync with the exchange at the speeds expected.
If all the lights are flickering, then it sounds okay. I assume the i light is blinking orange?
Also, you can try to listen in on the router. When you listen on a handset [ press # to defeat the dial tone for a moment ] you might hear the router sending it's sync tones. That proves something is working. You can also try unpluging all of the telelphones, just in case a phone is doing something odd to your broadband signal strength.

The installation seems to have worked. The various LEDs seem to be illuminated correctly, including the Internet LED (on all of the time), but what do I need to do to set the router up? Its been a long time since I last did it, and I don't remember the various actions I need to do.
I'm grateful for any help.
Thanks
