I followed the set-up instructions precisely, loaded the software as told and have had no real problems with this router. The only quirk I have noticed is that, at times, I have to re-boot my desktop computer before getting online first thing in the morning. If that's the only problem anyone has with a good, inexpensive router like this, that tells me it's a pretty good piece of equipment.
Easy setup and trouble free after 1 month of use. One small negative, during setup make sure you don't skip the secure password screen when it asks you to setup secure password or do it later, if you skip you must call customer service tech support and they will help with the process, so don't skip or you'll be calling customer service support. This will saveyou time.
Free support number was helpful seeing as it didn't work after following the instructions in the package.
In fact it took me straight to the web-based setup page. As always I researched the product, read the reviews and decided to get it. I bought this router for my girlfriend after purchasing her a laptop to use at home. I personalized the SSID, setup security, and voila up and running in under 5 minutes. I read where some folks had issues setting it up using windows Vista, but let me tell you, its probably easier than using the disc provided. I connected the cables, put power to the router last and let vista do the work detecting it. I highly recommend. I personally have a Linksys WRT45G router reflashed with DD-WRT software, which hasn't failed me yet but for the price of the Belkin, you really can't beat it.
I've had it for about a month now with no problems, down time or interuptions. And it has a very long range.
Very easy getting our network set up- only hinderance was that I wasn't able to set it up on my Mac. I love this product.
Once I had it set up, which only took about 15 min, it worked on all 3 of our computers (the Mac included). I'm sure if I spent more time with it I could have, but after 20 min of messing with the set up process, I quit.
Luckily I have a PC as well, and although the disc is for Macs and PCs, it was far easier to install on the PC. We set it up downstairs in our living room, and it works upstairs in both bedrooms (we live in a 2-level condo) with just as strong a signal strength.
IT's GREAT & AFORDABLE.
