Rating: Summary: Bad PPPoE performance, terrible tech support Review: This router slowed my PPPoE internet connection down to a crawl, both wirelessly and even when directly plugged into the router. After multiple calls to Belkin tech support (with horrendous hold times) and several firmware upgrades, I finally gave up. Got a Linksys instead, and it works great, no slow-downs or dropped connections.
Rating: Summary: THIS WILL SPAM YOU! Review: This router will take a legitimate connection to a web site and turn it into an ad for belkin products! The older models don't but if you update the firmware (like maybe to close a security hole in the future, or for compatibility of a network game) you will start getting ads! There are a couple of articles that are at popular news organizations that confirm this. BOYCOTT, DO NOT UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE!
Rating: Summary: Easy & Fast Setup - No Problems Using Review: Unlike some of the other reviewers, I have been using this router for almost an entire year & have never had to reset it yet. I also have never updated the software for it - why fix it if it isn't broken. I have my DSL modem connected to it & my desktop PC (Win98 1st edition) via ethernet and my laptop (WinME) via wireless card. It took me all of 10 minutes to connect both my laptop and desktop computers. I would and have recommended this wireless router to others.
