Easy setup, works great with Mac
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 ...

Fantastic product!
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.

Great router for cheap price!
This router has everything. I am using this as a wireless bridge to extend my wireless coverage to downstairs in my old house which doesn't have wireless friendly walls and floors.
It has WPA/WEP protection. 4 port 10/100 switch. Great web interface. Nice and small. Has MAC filtering. Wireless bridging of course. MAC filtering for wireless bridging. Have this bridged to a D-Link DI-634M.
No cons whatsoever that I see!

Good product
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.

Not totally satisfied
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This router is hard to setup with Vistas although it says it is compatible you have to use a manual process. The manual steps are not easy to understand and then I had to call their customer service three times. On the third call, which each call lasted more than 1 1/2 hours, I was escalated to a senior level technician and was able to set it up. It works well now, but I have to reset ...

Easy set up but range goes after about 3 months
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 ...

Well, At the Very Least it Works
It was advertised as easy to install, and usable right out the box, but after plugging everything in and not being able to connect to the internet using my laptop, the ease kind of just flew out the window. I spent almost 3 hours on the phone with people from India who I could barely understand, and who clearly didn't care whether my product worked or not. To make a long story short, I finally got the router to work, and it's been working fine for the past month or so (knock on wood).

dropped dead after less than two months
Dropped dead after less than two months.
Nary a light to be seen.
Worked OK--not great--previous to that.
------ 9/22/08: update re the replacement Belkin sent ---------
Two weeks ago I finally installed the replacement. It never functioned well. Most pages would consistently take longer to load than they should. Some would never load. For many to load at all I would have to click the reload icon, sometimes several times. Sometimes it did no good.
