I've been running it (on the V1 router) since 15:05 this afternoon. No
problems so far ;-)

I know it's only been four hours!

I bought the DG834GT last week, and I am wondering if there is
actually any point in upgrading, since it has been working perfectly
since 5 minutes after it came out of the box.

It is running version 1.01.00

The only "oddity" being that it has the attenuation and SNR figures
reversed. Which I notice is fixed at release 1.01.12.

I can't see anything else vital in the release notes up to 1.01.28

When it comes to the GT, which has proved tempromental for many people,
I'd definitely go with the adage "If it aint broke...". If the firmware
you're on isn't disconnecting you, or the wireless crashing every couple
of hours, then leave it well alone

If it ain't broke...

I updated mine to 1.01.28 more or less when I bought it to fix the
attenuation/SNR issue, and I've had no problems at all with it. It's
been up for 11 days without complaining and I only rebooted it because
they keep messing with the system and telling us if we still have issues
to reset our routers.

I know. I only read those reviews after ordering (I had heard good
things about the G, and didn't realise the GT was different), and was
expecting to be sending it back under the DSR, since the reason I was
buying it was to replace a 3Com 3CRWE754G72-A that was losing
connectivity 3-4 times per day, sometimes more.

But so far (5 full days and 6 evenings using it) I haven't had a
single drop out with the Netgear, so the 3Com is going on ebay in the
next couple of days.

I think I'll leave it running the firmware it was delivered with. As
you and Phil both say, If it ain't broke..

I have just installed this new level and it fixes a problem where you could
not access your own lan services via the wan ip address. I checked this out
and it will now access my web server running on my linux box on my private
lan via the wan ip address sucessfully. This is something which has fooled
a number of people in the past....

I understand that some people are suggesting that Syslog facilities are not
working in this latest version. I have found this to be untrue. It must be
noted though, that the router needs to be rebooted after enabling syslog
features to get them to work.

Thus far, it seems that this latest firmare 3.01.25 is very good.

Out of interest, what tool are you using for collecting the syslog
broadcast?
