suppose any would do a job, mines a netgear and its great...cant comment on belkin as ive never owned one but id say take a look at the netgears too.

Netgear for me every time but I did have a Belkin before which allowed me to attach a printer to to the router and the printer was then wireless, really good router too but I bought a new Netgear and set the Belkin up at my brothers as I never use a printer much now and he does, its still working excellent for him.

belkin pretty much do the job.
the only issue i had with mine was it wouldn't port forward novalogic games (known issue) so i couldn't host a game server.
other than that it worked fine.

Belkin

For the price they are really good, I even found some with ranges that rival most DLink or Linksys routers /WAP's.

i have tried both netgear and belkin and i find that belkin isnt as stable and often needs rebooting. netgear has always worked well for me at least....

i'd personall go with netgear i had a belkin it was unprotected and annoying to set up

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

If this helps, my uncle always seems to try and avoid belkin and always tries to buy a netgear. He currently has a print server modem which he is using. So you have a choice. Although one might be slightly more expensive in a long term view and reliability me like others will be netgear all the way.

belkin i found absolute shite, regularly lost connection , changed to linksys no probs

Got a Belkin and a Lynksys. Prefer the Linksys myself, but remember that Belkin carry a lifetime guarantee and they will exchange if anything goes wrong with it.

Linksys worked flawlessly for a couple of years now. Pick them up fairly cheap now which is also a bonus.

I started off with a linksys, but had nothing but problems, nightmare to set up and constantly had to reconnect. switched to a belkin, much better, sets itself up almost, especially with vista. I would recommend belkin n1 everytime

[trpnster]

i like the linksys ones, as you can change the fireware to DD-WRT and then even better

I use wireless G hub with usb adapter for home theater pc and laptop card with my laptop (all Belkin) usb adapter is bombproof but I have always had a lot of problems with laptop loosing connection to router with a reboot the only way to get it running again....going to upgrade to 'n' soon I'll have to think twice about buying Belkin though.
