Manufacturer description

The DG834PNB RangeMax Wireless Modem Router enables ADSL broadband subscribers to dramatically boost wireless networking coverage and eliminate dead spots by dynamically adapting on the fly to your changing home or small office environment. The DG834PNB RangeMax Wireless Modem Router (Gateway) adjusts to interference and the physical barriers to maximize coverage. With RangeMax dynamic connectivity there is no need to spend extra money on range extenders, repeaters and external antennas. There is also no need to throw away your older wireless devices; the DG834PNB wireless modem router is compatible with 802.11b, 802.11g and SuperG products and will boost their range and speed. Coverage is maximized when the DG834PNB is used in conjunction with NETGEAR's RangeMax PC cards and adapters. RangeMax is an advanced Smart MIMO (Multi-in, Multi-Out) technology that uses seven internal antennas. The RangeMax DG834PNB wireless modem router constantly surveys your home or office environment for physical barriers and interference: The RangeMax wireless router adapts on the fly, adjusting the wireless signal to compensate for these performance blockers. For example; if you carry your laptop from the kitchen to the bedroom, RangeMax automatically senses the change and selects from a choice of numerous antenna configurations to deliver you the fastest, clearest connection! Everyone will enjoy consistently high-speed connections, everywhere in your house - no signal dropouts or wireless dead spots. NETGEAR ensures that every computer, laptop or console user connected to your wireless network can work and play safely. The DG834PNB RangeMax Wireless modem router comes with a double firewall, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key) security. These security features add powerful safeguards against unauthorized usage. The DG834PNB is an easy to set-up, single box solution, it plugs straight into your ADSL line - there is no need for a separate modem. Once the DG834PNB modem router is connected, configuration is also easy, via NETGEAR's Smart Wizard. The Smart Wizard automatically detects your ISP's network settings, and then walks you through each step of the installation process.
