please help upgrade firmware on my netgear dg834gt
hi, ihave had sky for 3 years now and have a netgear dg834gt and now have an iphone 4. the wifi connection on the laptop and ps3 is really fast but on the iphone its really really slow. i no its not the phone as i have tried it on other isp's and its fine and also took it to apple and they swapped the handset and its exactly the same. anyway i have tried to put the firmware to the original netgear firmware as stated somewhere else in this forum and when i get to the device list on the netgear upgrade wizard its blank and show nothing.
i have tried it several times and done exactly what it states on -
http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/techn...-password.html
i have also got my username and password.
please can someone advise me of what i can do.
my only other alternitive is to buy the new d-link sky router which you can get off ebay for around £30 and swap it over but wasnt sure if i could do that. would it be a striaght swap.
thank you in advance

You need to use Windows XP - I had the same issue on Windows 7 or Vista.
Just for info, I have an iPhone 3GS and using the Netgear Sky router and it is absolutely fine, although I have flashed the router to standard FW.~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~

Re: please help upgrade firmware on my netgear dg834gt
would you say the d-link is a better modem or the netgear? with mine being 3 years old it might be worth upgrading to the newer one. will it be simple to swap over or do i need the username and password of the netgear?
