Post Setting up Netgear DG834G Router

Netgear DG834G v3, Netgear DG834G v4, Netgear DG834GT, Netgear DG834, Netgear DG834PN all these routers have exactly same basic settings and user interface so you can use this guide for any of these router

Setting Up Router/ Configuration

There are 2 ways to setup Netgear
1. Setup Wizard (which guides you through a setup wizard)
2. Manual Configuration (you need to put all values in router manually)

Here we are not discussing Setup Wizard as Manual configuration is far much easier then auto configuration

To configure (config) Netgear we need to get into router page

To open router config page
1. Open Internet Explorer (Start>>all prog>>Internet Explorer)
2. Type in address bar 192.168.0.1
3. In username box type admin (where it says gateway 192.168.0.1 requires username & password)
4. In password box type password (word password itself)

After this you will find Netgear ADSL Wireless Router Setup page

Here we need to select Basic Settings (as shown below)



after this you will find next page as



Here in this page (Basic Settings Page)

Does your internet connection requires login, Select Yes
Select Encapculation as PPPoE
Login is Username as provided by your ISP
Password is your password for broadband connection as provided by your ISP
Keep Idle timeout as 0

after this simply press apply without changing anything else


Now We Need to click on ADSL Settings Page



Now on ADSL Setting Page We got only 3 options


Multiplexing Method Should be LLC-Based
VPI 0
VCI 35

now just press apply again

By this time your router should be only (you can check it by opening any website on Internet Explorer or by router status option on netgear page)


To Config Wireless

Click on Wireless Option (on left hand side blue panel)




It should display next page as



Here in this page

Wireless Network Name (SSID) Alpha-Numeric name which would be displayed as your wireless network name

Region Here Select Your Region

Channel: Select whichever channel give you best sighal (9, 11, 13 are recommended)

Keep the TIck on Enable Wireless Access Point

Keep the Tick on Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)

Can Untick Wireless Isolation

Then Jump to Security Options

Select WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre Shared Key)

then in WPA-PSK Security Encryption type in anything of your own choice but alphabets and numbers both should be there and make it between 8 to 63 characters long.
WPA-PSK Security Encryption Key is your password for wireless network

Now Press Apply and your router is ready for wireless too

After doing this you can change MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) size to 1400 from WAN Setup Option

You can find WAN Setup Option in same blue panel on left hand side of screen



Here you just need to change MTU to 1400 and need not to change any other setting



Now its all done and router is ready to send wireless signal to your system/laptop

@smoothvibes, useful guide.

Just4kix guided me to come here. Would this ADSL router work without the modem from BSNL? Guess my basics aren't that great. Please let me know.

Also, images would help to a larger extent with each of the steps in your guide. Lastly, you have mentioned that the different variants of this router have the same basic settings. What exactly is the difference between them?

Awaiting a reply eagerly!

@music.maniac, This device is an ADSL2+ modem with a built in wi-fi router. It can be used in place of the BSNL router. You will not require any other device provided that your wi-fi signal is able to reach your PCs (desktops, laptops) at various locations in the house.

BTW, why the allergy to BSNL modems?

@just4kix, absolutely no allergy. Instead of two devices, prefer one as I have to share the connection for my other system in another room.
Not to mention I have been paying rent for god knows how many years! So will return the modem back.

Thanks for the clarification! Am gonna try setting it up today evening itself!
