It works, but you need the latest drivers. Worked fine, but never after a reboot. My advice is to download the latest firmware from Belkin - for mine (v3.xx) this was f5d7050v3_ww_03.00.02_w2.exe
This has a much better Wireless Configuration GUI and you shoudl be fine - even so, I configured (via the new GUI) so that Windows XP manages the WiFi connection in the normal way. Now all is fine, even from reboot.
Works great apart from this caveat.

Absolute Rubbish. I am at a loss to know why Belkin are still selling this product. It has not worked propely from day one. I have tried all of the suggested "fixes" and none have worked. It has been used with 2 PC's and 2 Laptops, all with XP, which I think is giving it a good trial. The results have been the same. Belkin technical advice is non existant. Please do yourself a favour and do not buy this product. Try the Edimax EW-7318 USG.

Fantastic - ignore Belkins own software. I have had this for over a year now (version 4) and it has been superb, constantly picking up a perfect signal no matter what computer I connect it to.
I only installed the device driver and ignored Belkin's own wireless software. Can't fault it.

Absolute rubbish. Being new to broadband i thought it was my fault it wouldnt work with 02 broadband, after several days of intermittent connection and as previous people have said about 30 mins of diagnostics before it would even attempt to connect i checked amazon. what a relief - its going straight back to pc world tomorrow. DONY BUY THIS

Works perfectly. Bought one of these despite all the bad reviews and my gamble paid off. Bearing in mind other peoples installation hassles i firstly installed it using the supplied software and unsurprisingly it didn't work. So i simply set it up using Windows wireless network wizard-inputting the required information manually and it immediatly worked perfectly. i think thats the problem most people are having- that they didn't let Windows recognise the new hardware properly before they gave up. Absolutely nothing wrong with this piece of kit!!
