I was going to start a new thread, so hope you will excuse Crabby's butting in here, but could you/someone tell me what is in the Easy Install pack from AOL? Obviously a router
but do they include a USB wireless dongle at all as I have an older PC without an ethernet socket so only option is really a wireless card/USB wireless. Help appreciated :beer:

hey you dont get the wireless usb adaptor. you get the router , a few filters and an ethernet cable.
I poated on here a week or so ago that my aol wireless was a lot slower than my old usb modem and after doing all the tests above here are the results.
wireless router
downstream = 571.7kbps
upstream = 234.2kbps
wireless router with ethernet
downstream = 631.9kbps
upstream = 234.1kbps
adsl modem
downstream = 935.4kbps
upstream = 236.4kbps
i've hunted about and its not just me thats had the same effect after upgrading to aol wireless so is there anyway to ,ake the connection faster or is it just something you have to live with if you want aol wireless? cheers in advance0 -

I've changed channels using the netgear setting site, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.... do I need to change the channel on the router itself? If so, how do I do this?!0

Post #12 tells you where the wireless channel settings is located on the Wireless Settings configuration page!
Go to this webpage and select the correct version of your DG834G and download and READ section 4 of the manual. If you can't be bothered to do that, how do expect to sort out this problem?
