Hi all,
I've been unable to find out whether my old Netgear DG824M "Wireless
ADSL
Modem Gateway" will support the new 8Mb iinet broadband2 plans. If it
will
support the new protocol, will the modem function at >1.5Mb?
I would appreciate any light shed on this topic.
I've been doing some research for modem.routers that will support
coming adsl2 and 2+
I'm not sure if this is of any help but here goes anyway.
Here's a link for your device. I believe the 824M is not upgradeable I
but the DG834 (v2) is.

There is a downloadable .pdf of specs there too.
These are interesting too:

Here are 4 that are compatible, as posted to this list several days
ago. I'm going to try the Billion:
ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ (Incl) Compatible Modem/Routers
Billion 7402 2 yr warranty ADSL speed 8mbps to 30 with
ADSL2+ $190-250
Netgear DG834 (v2) 1 yr warranty don't know speeds$130 - $190
DLink 504T May not be here yet but is ADSL2 and 2+ compatible 8mbps
with adsl other unknown
Zyxel Prestige 660H ADSL2 speed 12, ADSL2+ speed 24
Other
Netcomm NB 5 looks good but is only usb and single ethernet. Perhaps
others are on their way.
Hope that is of use.
