I have a belkin which I am not happy with, for some reason it often reset the connection, so I will lose connection for a few minutes at a time. A friend gave me this router who had the same problem with it.

I am thinking about getting this one to replace it:

I think the reason this is so cheap is because it's a 54 mbs model and everyone has now moved onto 125 mbs, you may be dissapointed at it's performance when surfing the net.

only if your connection is over 54mbs so i dont think that your internet will be
affected at all

And even if your connection was that fast, you wouldnt notice the loss for normal surfing... at 54mbs pages would load pretty much instantly, you cant get any faster than that!

i set up 4 home networks for friends using belkin gear earlier this year. All have problems with router locking. Avoid at all costs. buy linksys.

I have 54mbs and it is just as fast as when using wires.

I got one of these special bundle deals not so long ago and discovered that they were returned products. Do be wary about these.

I would recommend any lynksys router if only because they have a free customer support number and i have found them extremely helpful.

currys and currys on the highstreet are also doing this belkin deal but the salesman told me about this......

Linksys 125g cable router and the adapter for only a tenner more! £49.99!!

http://www.currys.co.uk code is 852034

again no modem in it but great for NTL like me or Telewest and much faster than the belkin kit!

cheers
