Known Issues

• The DG834G has a firmware bug whereby the statistics reported are an overall average not realtime, this results in the stats reported by DGMon also being an overall average. You can see this bug in action if you go to the web administration tool, select router stats, then click show statistics. Notice they are wrong. Lets hope Netgear fix it in the next firmware release.
• Router password is stored in plain text in the ini file - use file security settings to fix this for now.
• Sometimes activity bars stay greyed out when they shouldnt be - restart fixes this problem.
• With Windows default settings .NET executables MUST be run from a local hard drive.
  (This is a .NET framework security feature that can be adjusted.)
