My ADSL driver version again DG834N is the newer beta one exactly the same letters except an o instead of a b before the .extension

I think the driver is not a beta Steve, its just the rest of the firmware, the drivers are licensed from Broadcom in this case, so they would be the real deal its the Netgear/DGteam firmware that changes features that's really the beta part, does the DGteam firmware let the wifi light flicker when in use or is it frozen like the netgear beta one?

The wifi light does not flicker on the DGteam 0850 version on my 834N

The wifi lights meant to flicker showing activity over the wifi network Sebby, you would think the DGteam could have fixed the bit of code that stopped this occurring

I have my router is the lounge and its useful to see if the light flickers because if all is turned off the someone would be hacking my wifi network, hopefully hard work as I use full 63 character ASCII WPA2 AES encryption and mac filtering and wireless isolation.

but its also nice to see it in action for another reason, I know Justina is online then and I can hit the PS3 without interruption

If You look at the top of the main log in page, it says account name and firmware version, it says there what the current firmware version is, I thought you wanted the Broadcom ADSL driver expressed numerically, I have a DG834N my driver version is A2pB023b.d20e but my firmware version as written on the top of the page is V1.02.08. Sorry about the confusion

Talk about not seeing the wood the for the trees - it's right at the flippin' top staring me in the face. Thanks for that Gary. I'm now going to write a hundred lines of "Check before posting daft questions".

I have done that more than a few times myself to say the least, Drummer. Glad you are up to speed on the firmware

Now get back to those lines

Ah, sorry, I read 'flickering' as being the issue.
