Do not buy.......2007-03-22

I received the router and tried to install it. I got up to the point where the router was to verify the connection and I lost my internet connection. I then found out that it deleted my IP address. Called Belkin tech support with a sad result. Bottom line is that I lost My IP address 3 times. Had to go to my server to restore it each time. Belkin tech support needs to be recycled. Talked to 12 repres. with no success. Will return this junk in a new box.

Wrong product description.......2007-02-17

After 2 bad Linksys routers and many hours on the phone with their tech support and being told that I must have had 2 bad routers from the same batch, I bought the Belkin. I was able to connect to BellSouth in a matter of minutes and so is the 2nd desktop in my office. The 2nd computer is able to connect to my hard drive, but, I cannot connect to it. When I called Belkin, I was told this router is just to connect to the internet, not set up to share files and printers. The product description clearly states "share files and peripherals."

5 minute setup, works great.......2006-12-14

I bought a Netgear and spent 5+ very frustrating hours trying to get it to work, and then it worked poorly only some of the time. Belkin includes a cd which does it all in just a few minutes.

Good router if you don't play online games.......2006-12-13

Don't get this router if you plan to play online games like "World of Warcraft" for example. You'll get frequent disconnection for no reason. Otherwise, the router is great for anything else (downloading large files, browsing, checking e-mail, etc) other than gaming. Gamers, stay away from this router.

Wrong Discription of Item........2006-12-06

I could be wrong but when i looked a this item i thought it was going to be a router that would interface to my DSL line. all it is a cheap firewall with a switch not at all what i wanted. the discription should say 4 port 10/100 Router.
