Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the DG834GV within minutes after connecting it to the
network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:
• Browser-based management
Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your modem router from almost
any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup
Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web
Management Interface.
• Smart Wizard
The firmware in the modem router automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking
you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
• Remote management
The modem router allows you to log in to the Web management interface from a remote
location via the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access to a specified
remote IP address or range of addresses, or you can choose a nonstandard port number.
• Diagnostic functions
The modem router incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping, DNS lookup, and
remote reboot. These functions allow you to test Internet connectivity and reboot the modem
router. You can use these diagnostic functions directly from the DG834GV when you are
connected on the LAN or when you are connected over the Internet via the remote
management function.
