Thanks for that headup Sunil.

Lucky you DG834 guys, I might as well chuck my DG814 in the bin. It's not
even heavy enough to use as a doorstop for god sakes (much less handling UDP
packets)!!!!!
I wish Netgear would comit some time to fixing this product, surely it can't
be that hard? Start by taking all the cheepo graphics and "pretty" colors
out of the web interface to free up some memory????

My Origo ASR-8400 router cost half as much and does the job twice as well
and even does some things that Netgear routers won't do :-) (And all the
material is available on the net to program it myself, can't even find out
whats inside a Netgear)

Death to Netgear!!

-Lawrence.

I'd like to echo both those sentiments - I was told there was an update
coming and searched the Netgear site last week, but failed to find it.
If only they were as good at writing software as they are at hiding
patches.

Which version firmware do you have for the DG814 ?

Just looked and it seems that Netgear have released v4.10
(http://kbserver.netgear.com/support_...asp?dnldID=654) which may help
you.

I had thought that v4.9 was the latest but this was released on the
19/03/04 - though I do see a thread about v4.10 dated the 30/3/04 in
uk.telecom.broadband that I had forgotten about...

No new features, just bug fixes

Sunil

Known Issues, Version 1.03.00
3. Firewall rules by Schedule is broken.

This is the most important feature for me. Is it fixed in 1.04 ?

Filthy Rich
Music House

Released on 1st April ? That should be good for a laugh !

Anyone want's to be a guinea pig and freeze their dodgy Netgear ?

Martin (now thankfully in Netgear free zone)

Well I must admit to having looked carefully and using my link to Netgears
site and going from there. It seems Kocha but you are bound to ask why not
the 31st March or the 2ns April don't you? So far so good with 1.04

I would assume so as it was a "Known Issue" in the previous version but
hopefully one of the other posters on this thread, can confirm it..

I don't actually have a DG834/G myself....
