Belkin 54g Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router

I have installed several Wireless networks for clients and my own with this device, i am unhappy to say that the majority have had issues with this router. The biggest issue centered around the wireless signal suddenly dropping and then not successfully being restarted, this problem was not solved by firmware updates or changing the settings. The second major issues affected people who happened to have xbox consoles attached to Xbox live. Whenever it was being played both the wired and the wireless networks went down, this is i believe due to the router not being able to route the requests effectively from the local network to the internet due to ...  Read the complete review

I did a lot of research into routers before jumping onto the wireless bandwagon and eventually plumped for the Belkin and I am more than happy with my purchase. The Belkin was by far the cheapest router at the time (I paid £50 in 2005) compared to most other models which were on average £20 more expensive for what I could see, was the same functionality. The Belkin also offered free lifetime support which could turn out to be a lifesaver as I have become very dependant on the internet to carry out my day to day duties. --Whats In the Box? -- There are no real surprises inside the box, you get the router itself, a mains power supply, an ...  Read the complete review

When my old Netgear wireless router broke down (for the fourth time) at the beginning of December I decided that enough was enough. A trip to PC world saw me return with one of these puppies (and £60 lighter in the pocket). 30 minutes after getting home saw my Internet access and wireless network reinstated. Yup, 30 minutes was really all it took, and that included unwrapping it, fiddling round with the power supply & cables as well as some basic configuration. This was helped along by the excellent quick-start guide on a large, fold-out sheet with it's clearly numbered and documented steps. At about the size of a large-format paperback, it's ...  Read the complete review

Before I write about the Belkin Router, I think it may be appropriate to describe my experiences that led up to the decision of setting up a network so that both our computers could share our newly installed NTL broadband connection. There was something about networking that I had a "monster" mental-block about and when asking advice, all I could get was "it's easy!" Well all I can say about that is everything is easy to those who know how. I'm not a technophobe, but when something is working OK, I am of the opinion not to try and fix it. But I was getting fed up of my slow dial-up internet connection and it was really about ...  Read the complete review

I moved back into a cable area recently so with that needed a purchase for a cable router. On a midnight jaunt through the supermarket I picked this one up for about £30 and took it home to play with. It's packed full of features once you've set it up and really lets you take control of the security of your network. It has all of the encryption you'll need to make the network secure and stop anyone with a wireless device that comes within range of your network gaining access to it. And you can take control of the network, assigning individual addresses to it in order to make more efficient use of your router. For example, I have a server on mine which takes ...  Read the complete review
