Recently started using Netgear DG814 ADSL Routers
(with built in 4 port switch and Dyn DNS support)

I reflashed the firmware to the latest version for VPN compatibility and
did a factory reset as advised by Netgear support.

The routers worked well apart from problems with inbound POP and
PcAnywhere, they became very hit or miss in the working department..

After much head scratching I set the setting "NON STANDARD MTU" to 1500
(it was I seem to recall 1458) suddenly the units started to perform as
expected and all works well.
Resetting to factory defaults or auto detecting will NOT set this
correctly.

Has anyone else used these and got anything to offer re
problems/solutions?

BTW they support dyn dns in the router which makes them a very interesting
unit.....
