I am now on sky broadband connected through a wired router a Netgear V1 DG834GT
Is it correct that this has some security features inbuilt such as a Firewall?
cheers Jim |

It does Jim, here's part of a review on it and it gets a 9 out of 10 rating.
| Quote: | | The DG834G has a comprehensive feature set that’s hard to fault. Its security features are an example of this thoroughness: you get a decent firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) & Intrusion Control, Denial of Service (DoS) and IPSec/Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through. |

Always a pleasure Jim  How's the weather in your part of the country? Was talking to my Uncle in Leicestershire the other day, he's 85 and constantly on the go. He's complaining that it has been so wet (rain and some snow) that he can't get his garden in, but his greenhouse is just packed with vegetation. He makes the best pickled onions .. my mouth waters just thinking of them  |

It was a nice day today sunny but a cold easterly wind. I cut the grass and did some digging on the borders; some left to do tomorrow.
Talking about pickled onions one of my aunts, now gone sadly; used to do spectacular pickled onions- she had her own spices and always used the best white wine vinegar. Imagine this Glyn a Melton Mowbray Pork pie with the dark crusty pastry- all hand pinched around the top of the Pie and some pickled onions and english mustard- what a meal and all eaten with a glass of ice cold cider yum yum.cheers. |

Stop it .. stop it !!!! A Melton Mobray pork pie .. to die for. We used to have Marks and Sparks here in Edmonton and they'd have them now and then. Some butchers try to do a knock off, but no where near the original. No beer or cider when I was a kid in England, but a Tizer would do the trick.
Oh my, you've woken up some very deep feelings ..
Treacle Pudding, good fish & chips, Yorkshire pud (mine aren't too bad), Lucozade for the upset tummy, lemon sherbet drops to name a few ..
Cheers Jim |

How about the other side of the coin- I remember visiting my Welsh grand mother's place in Flint- we enjoyed the delicate delights of Tripe and sticky, messy, greasy. Pigs trotters, you could not refuse them; you ate what was put down in those days, but I also remember her Cheese and cakes- Oh yes the good old days -Now Glyn I must get out of nostalgia mode. best wishes Jim |

It is pretty safe out of the box Jim. If keeping wired (better option in my opinion) you may want to disable its wireless ability for extra security, just a case of unticking a box in the routers settings. |

You use a normal web browser like internet explorer or firefox. You're not going onto the web, its just a way for your PC to interface with the router.
In the address bar type in http://192.168.0.1 (or just click the link<<<)
User: admin
Password: sky
I'm not at home right now so I cant remember exactly what to click on next but you will see a list of options down the left hand side, it will be under wireless settings or something similar. |

I followed the link- when I put in User:Admin Password: Sky it would not accept this? |
