Title: DG834GT
Post by: RichardDandR on Feb 19, 2010, 08:28:47
I've been on Home Max for a couple of years now and very happy with the speeds and service.

With the changes in bandwidth I can comfortably move to ADSL2+ Home Plus but am concerned whether the DG834GT is compatible with ADSL2+. The firmware is V1.02.14

Should I expect any problems?

many thanks

 :welc: :karma: Richard, I believe the router is compatible, but can't confirm 100%. I'm sure someone will be able to confirm one way or the other, or call support, they should be able to tell you if it works.

 :welc: :karma: I think the answer is yes, there are a variety of firmwares,see which one works best.

Many thanks.

When I contacted Idnet they could not find any mention of ADSL2+ in the 834GT datasheet.

The firmware downloads mention support for ADSL2 and ADSL2+

Seriously? They sell the DG834G V5 which is similar! LOL!

Many thanks for all the comments.

Not too good with the technical stuff so wanted to make sure before I take the plunge.

I'm using that router with V1.03.22 (the latest) firmware. I've not seen any problems with it on ADSL2+ since switching last month.
