5 out of 5 stars Easy Peasy Wifi Breezy   March 19, 2008

This has to be one of the easiest routers I've ever set up; not a peep of an issue. It's smaller than the pic lets on as well.

Further to this, I was initially concerned with the positioning of the router and the wireless client PC...they were separated by about 25 feet of walking length from one room, down a hallway to a common room, with 2 doors and 3 walls to possibly interrupt the signal. Only a minor signal strength drop occured with the doors closed, but the connectivity continued uninterrupted. Good job Belkin.

The setup for this router could not have been easier. It is laid out in plain language and takes about 3 minutes total. I have a fantastic signal in my entire apartment, really really fast internet for it being wireless, and I have never had a problem with losing the signal.


5 out of 5 stars Easy set up but range goes after about 3 months   March 19, 2008

I bought this to replace a linksys router (with two antennae). I was very surprised at how easy this was to setup, much easier than the Linksys! Wireless was incredibly easy. I only had to add in the key that it generated to my laptop and instant connection to the network!

I find that the wireless range is surprisingly good, especially considering it uses only one antenna. The signal is strong enough to go 28' through two cement-filled, concrete/cinder block walls with steel. My laptop registers the signal strength as Very low, but I can surf the net and upload/download files at the same speed that I used to get with my Linksys.

UPDATE - downgrade to 2.5 stars.
My router suddenly lost its wireless range after about 2 months. I reset the router and it didn't solve the problem. I ended up having to buy a wireless USB adapter with a long USB cable to connect to my laptop, longer cat 5e cables so that the router could be moved to a spot that had an almost direct line of sight with my USB adapter to get wireless access!

The router is a good wireless product for being just a g and not a super g or n. The signal strength extends for a decent distance 40-50 ft but is inconsistent @ times. Make sure not to have other wireless(phones) or electronic devices near the usb adpater.

I was looking for a compact wireless router for my small (600 sq.ft.) apartment. From out of the box to being on the web took less than 10 minutes. After being guided by a few easy steps from the installation CD, my Powerbook was connected and I was able to get a strong signal even if I went into the other room from where the unit was plugged in.
It is, as another reviewer noted, smaller than it appears in the photo and you have the option of standing it on it's side, which further reduces it's footprint.
I would recommend this to anyone with a small apartment or condo who wants wireless connectivity without bells and whistles, and wants a simple design style that blends in with a small space.
