Advantages: Easy to use at everything

Disadvantages: ONLY FOR ADSL customers (NOT cable)

I replaced my Belkin Router with this one.
I got the package with the USB wireless package for 49.99 fromCarphone Warehouse (very good price considering PC world had exactly the same one for 79.99!)

Anyway, getting home and gettting it out of the box was easy. It contains two 'legs' so you can have the router pitched up on its side - looks alot better!
It is also an 'apple' style white plastic that to be honest does actually look pretty sexy, considering its a router.

Having put the power on, plugged in my ASDL line, the network cable and micro filter it says to run the setup wizard...
If you go to http://192.168.0.1 on your internet browser, you can go direct to the router management page. Using the deafult of admin & password you can then setup the router in about 2 steps.

First click the 'auto detect' network type and then enter your username and password for the internet providor.
Its that simple!


As for the speed of the router im about 10 meters and a few rooms away and im getting 4/5 bars of signal on the wireless, and im picking up a speed from BT of about 5.5M/bs.(the belkin one had about 1/5 here and about 2.5M/bs!).
The router has not crashed / frozen / randomly disconnected from the network which the belkin does/did.

This router is a great product, and even better value with the wireless USB adapter. Recommend you go to carphone warehouse if you are looking at buying

Summary: Fast and easy to setup this router is the best ive used.
