Increasing from 512k to 1Mb connection - do I need new modem ?

Hi folks!

This might sound like a silly question, but do I have to upgrade my adsl
modem (I actually have a Netgear DG834G wireless router with modem built in)
if I increase my broadband connection from 512kb to 1Mb ?

Many thanks.

Nope, the router should work fine with the 1Mb connection, if
i remember correctly it works upto a 8Mb connection

Actually the DG834G should cope with even faster speeds as its chipset
supports ADSL2/2+. (via firmware updates)

Only "ADSL" is limited to 8MB.
