(1 out of 5) by Will Do-it on Dec 1, 2009I wasted $50 and 1.5 hrs of my time trying to install a wireless Belkin router and another 1.5 hrs of my time on the phone with tech support only to be told at the end the unit is defective and I must return it to Belkin.
At the very least Belkin should have offered to mail me a replacement ASAP. Based on this experience, I would never purchase another Belkin product.

Don't buy this router if you want to use the internet.

This router drops your connection every few minutes. It sucks and it will drive you insane. I had such a terrible experience starting with the installation, to the connection issues, to the trouble shooting that I felt compelled enough to come all the way to Amazon to give it a bad review. Please save your time and money and go buy something else.

Cheap, functional, lifetime warranty!
(4 out of 5) by Chino on Nov 7, 2009 (Miami, FL USA)This Belkin Wireless-G router (F5D7230-4) is cheap (frequently found to be less than half the price of the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router). It is easy to setup, and has robust security options (WPA2/TKIP, MAC filtering, no SSID broadcast, etc.). Firmware is easy to update. Belkin provides a lifetime warranty on it (no longer true for their latest generation of products like the F5D7234-4).
I have two. I use one of the as a travel router (yes it is small enough, although I miss my Linksys WTR54GS and I may consider moving on to one of these). The second I use as a WAP in my basement (my Actiontec MI424WR just can't deliver the signal I need in the basement).

Excellent value for the money...
(4 out of 5) by JP on Nov 5, 2009 (Chi-town)I'm not really sure how much more there is to say about this little wireless router... It's small, easy to install, and so far reliable; and, for around $30, you really can't beat it (I think I paid $23 + Shipping). I will say that I am an average user, i.e. net surfing, images, videos, etc. I have the router connected on the first floor of my home and I get great connection from anywhere in my house... second floor, basement, etc. So far, I am very happy with it; and, if something happens to change my mind, I will be back here to post that too...
The worst router ever
(1 out of 5) by Adi on Oct 24, 2009I have been using wireless routers for about 10 years now, but have never come across a router worse than this one. It is totally unreliable, disconnects every 2 minutes, you need to reset it to make it work.
Stay away from it.
