Netgear DG834GT router - 1.03.23 firmware released

Netgear DG834GT ADSL wireless routerThe latest firmware version 1.03.23 has been released for the Netgear DG834GT 108Mbps Wireless ADSL router.



The previous firmware versions (specifically 1.02.19 and 1.03.22) were sub-standard and frustrating to use, mainly because of DHCP problems and reserved IP address issues. According to Netgear these issues have been addressed in the latest 1.03.23 firmware version.



I upgraded to 1.03.23 and did some tests on my home LAN; the DHCP issue has been resolved. Nice!



Problem - Cannot delete Firewall Rules



There's a new bug in this version: If you select a Firewall Rule you created and select 'Delete', it just displays a blank page in the router interface. It does not delete the firewall rule! I tested it in several browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera. Luckily you can enable/disable a Firewall Rule but if you have a long list of Firewall Rules then it would have been nice if you could delete them to manage the list better.
