After reading some earlier posts I've been looking at the Netgear DG834
range or wireless routers.
Good choice. I have a DG834G v3 and it has never gone wrong in the 2
years I have had it switched on 24hours a day.
The benefits of these are wireless, ADSL2+ and Dynamic DNS which my
present Speedtouch 510 does not offer.
No idea what the ADSL2+ is, probably the much higher speed connections. I
tried the Dynamic DNS and it made absolutely no difference to performance.
You usually need to pay a service charge if you want fancy settings that
will cope if your ISP DNS goes off. It's not worth using it.
No, Dynamic DNS has noting to do with your ISP's DNS. Some ISPs will
provide you a static IP address, but many allocate your address
dynamically - which means it will change. DDNS is a mechanism for your
router to associate itself with a URL. So you could register a URL of the
form frank-smith.dyndns.org, and when your router establishes its connection
with your ISP it updates the DNS entry so that frank-smith.dyndns.org points
to the external IP address of your router.
