DG834G or DG834GT Any difference?

Apart from the 'obvious' speed difference (54mbps and 108mbps) , is there
any other major difference between the DG834G MkII and the DG834GT? The
reason I ask, is because I want to replace a DG834G, and wonder if it would
be a wise move to buy the turbo model to replace it? I use the wireless
side constantly for transferring large files, so the speed difference would
make an improvemnt here.

Is there anything I need to know about the DG834GT (compared to the G model,
would be most welcome).

I really would like to place the order today, so if you know of any
problems, please drop me a reply.

Barry,

I have the G version, which is fine now I'm at the fifth firmwar
upgrade. I understand the T has ADSL2+ support with new firmware.

Cheers,

Hi Everyone,

Barry here again, I just wonder if anyone knows whether the DG834G and
DG834GT are the same dimensions? And are they identical in looks? Has the
GT adopted the silver colour of the older MkI DG834/G unit?

Thanks

Same dimensions. GT has silver trim/face

Thanks for that... Is anyone successfully running it with WPA-PSK security?

Yes - both the G and the GT...

I believe the GT might have a slightly more powerful processor. I
can't say for certain. I have heard it said that the Gv2 has a
slightly more powerful processor than the older G but again, I can't
say for certain.

What I can say for certain is that the G's are both rock solid with
the new firmwares (and support ADSL2+) whereas the GT, a newer model,
had some considerable flakiness issues with its first firmware (it
uses different firmware than the G's). I believe they've made good
strides with more recent firmware, though whether or not they have
made it as solid as the G's have become I couldn't say as I don't have
one.

You should be able to find out! You can enable debug mode on these
routers by entering the URL http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug

This enables telnet in to a Linux shell where the command "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
shows the processor information.

For a DG834G this reports it is a MIPS 4KEc V4.8 at a (Linuxspeak)
speed of 149.91 BogoMIPS.
