Hi Matt

I'm using a DG834GT 108 Mbps Super Wireless ADSL Router with 4-Port 10/100
Switch

Check out documentation at:

It was a breeze to set up.

Taylor

In answer to both your questions, it basically *is* a WRT-54G but with half
a dozen switch ports[0] and a DSL modem built into the same chassis.

[0] It might be 5, and the WRT-54G may have those itself. Memory imperfect
