Introduction
In this review, we'll look at Netgear's "entry level" draft 11n router, the WNR834B. Since Netgear has tried to make the 834B and its gigabit sibling the WNR854T (reviewed here) as similar as possible in function and form, I won't be spending a lot of time on those product attributes. I'll try to stick to pointing out only the differences and mainly focus on routing and wireless performance. The 834B is designed to sit upright—the better to position its three internal fixed-position dipole antennas. The front panel status lights (Figure 1) again use backlit icons and color to indicate 10 or 100 Mbps LAN connection.
