This is a full-featured home or small business ADSL router that'll comfortably handle all your broadband needs, including Wi-Fi, VoIP and ADSL2+. But don't expect it to be an easy task to set up the advanced features.
Australia still has way to go before it can meet its full potential with wireless and broadband.
The DG834G combines five network functions in a single box — ADSL modem, router, switch, firewall and 802.11g wireless access point.
Billion's myGuard 7500GL is an excellent wireless ADSL router for SOHO users. Its security features include QoS control, VPN access, a firewall and Trend Micro services.
Modem manufacturer D-Link had been distributing one of its ADSL modems to some of Telstra's largest wholesale customers without the carrier's interoperability certification for around four months.
For Australia's remote rural web users, relying on a dial-up modem has meant that video technology is still a long way off.
Telstra has quietly started offering two new ways of accessing its new nation-wide third-generation Next G mobile network, with two new USB modems now on sale.
High-speed mobile broadband has arrived! We compare Telstra's BigPond Wireless Next G service with Vodafone's HSDPA-enhanced 3G network.
Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.
If you're a heavy phone user who can deal with having yet another home phone number, then Engin's voice box could save you serious money.
3's new mobile broadband card is almost a no-brainer: It sprints along on 3's current 3G network and will kick into overdrive following the 3.6Mbps HSDPA network overhaul, slips into notebook ExpessCard and PC Card slots and to top it off, has exceptional pricing plans.
The emerging broadband wireless standard WiMax will address some of the problems with current technology and take wireless to a whole new level.
While the speed and pricing plans make it appealing for those who aren't deskbound, Unwired's Wireless Card is cruelled by the lack of true mobility and the Sydney-only coverage, which itself is undeniably patchy.
As long as you're a metropolitan broadband user, Telstra BigPond Wireless Broadband delivers well, but it can't be said to be an inexpensive broadband option.
Road warriors rejoice -- 3G data cards are bringing some long awaited speed to mobile Internet access. We take a look at offerings from the major Australian carriers.
