Is it really this easy??. I've been through 3 routers in 6 months and this has been the easiest to set up. I plugged it in and the set up took less than 5mins - I had a secure wireless network up and running in 10mins
Just for ease of set up I would recommend this to anyone.

Great product, works perfectly!!. I bought this router even though it had some bad reviews ad i just thought i would take a chance. When it came the quick start up guide was easy to follow although the router didnt work by the end of it. So i put the cd in and all i had to do was put my isp password and username in and then everything worked fine. Took ten mins to set up!! Great range all around the house. I have got two laptops connected to it and two games consoles and works a treat. A great buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unreliable. Have had endless problems with this router. At first it wouldn't work wirelessly, and after hours of sorting it out it worked fine for a week and then started cutting out every few minues. This makes IM programmes such as MSN and Skype impossible to use because your messages will not send and you will be disconnected repeatedly. Any downloading is also difficult as it will freeze halfway through. Like others have said, it will work for a little while if you reset it or unplug it and plug it back in but it is very unreliable. Have ordered a Netgear router to replace it, hopefully it will work better. Don't buy this router.

Belkin hell. I had bought this expecting to be able to extend my wireless Voyager 2110 range. The product does indicate that it can be configured to be used as a repeater. On making a connection using the `Easy set up' option and achieving a good signal from Belkin I couldn't access the Belkin configuration web address to make the necessary inputs. This suggested that Voyager and Belkin had conflicts. However on contacting Belkin support they informed me that my version ` F5D7230-4 version 7002 does not support bridging wirelessly' anyway hence this device is useless and on the way back to Amazon. If you are considering buying this as a repeater make sure that it is not version 7002 and check with Belkin that it will be compatible with your primary router and ask what version does support the repeater mode. Also: bad marks for not making this clear on their item specification.

Disappointing. Purchased a Belkin wireless G cable router direct from my ISP, NTL approx 18 months ago. Setup did not go according to plan and had to seek telephone help to sort out making connection secure, but after this initial problem, all seemed OK. Then in March 2008 the router died on me. I contacted Belkin support, and after the 3rd phone call managed to get someone who could speak English clear enough for me to explain the problem and subsiquently organise a replacement unit. The new unit arrived within 5 days and was up and running in an hour or so. Then in August 2008, it started dropping the Internet connection on both the hard wired PC and the wireless laptop, as experienced by other reviewees. Several calls to Belkin resulted in me being talked through a firmware update, which in all honesty solved the problem on the hard wired PC but am experiencing issues when connecting wireless. Again several calls to Belkin, again struggling to follow instructions because of language barriers, has resulted in the laptop now connecting but not holding connection for any length of time. I am currently playing around with settings myself to see what happens as I cannot take the stress of the Belkin Indian call centres. Save yourselves a load of bother and choose a different make of router.
