#belkin_wireless_g I've had this router for several years now, and it's never failed me. Yes, it needs to be cycled every once and a while, but...well, for the price, and the fact that it's one of the few electronic pieces I've NEVER had to replace...who's gonna complain?

#belkin_wireless_g If they had a "hate it" button, I would click it. This router is very disappointing. Replaced it twice within the first 3 months, Best Buy would not let me return it for a refund because it was more than 30 days. Has problems connecting several wireless devices--can take upwards of 2 minutes to obtain an IP, will randomly drop connections to individual devices, transfer speeds drop dramatically with each new connection. Router requires frequent power cycles and sometimes wifi will turn itself off for no reason, often without warning. Router is cheap, and it really shows!
