Background
The DG834G comes in four versions, the DG834G (also referred to as the DG834Gv1), the DG834Gv2, DG834Gv3 and the DG834Gv4. The first three versions have an TI-AR7 (MIPS32) processor and 16 MB of SDRAM and 4MB of flash memory. The DG834Gv4 has a Broadcom chipset. Broadcom Corporation is an American supplier of Integrated circuits (ICs for broadband communications The router runs embedded Linux with BusyBox and Netgear's Perl-based applications. BusyBox is a Software application which provides many standard Unix tools much like the larger (but more capable GNU Core Utilities.
