The Netgear ADSL router represents excellent value for money. It certainly wasn't the least featured but happened to be the least expensive router in this review. Setup was straightforward -- only the Dynalink was easier. Physically they were all set up the same except for the D-Link, as already explained. Besides having to have to enter the ADSL login details, with the Netgear device we had to select the encapsulation we were going use as well as the multiplexing method that matches with our ISP.
The DG834 had a very simple GUI -- what made it stand out from the rest was a help pane which explained what every setting does. It also featured some great security features like being able to block sites and setup rules to block or allow specific traffic. You can also schedule when rules are applied and you can have the system logs e-mailed to you. There were some useful maintenance settings to help you manage the router.
