The Belkin Wireless G Router lets users share files and a broadband Internet connection among their computers-without using networking cables. It features 802.11g technology that makes accessing files and networked peripherals-such as hard drives, printers, CD-ROMs, and DVDs-easier than ever. 802.11g technologies provide you with networking speeds nearly five times faster than the current Wi-Fi (802.11b) standard. An integrated, 4-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch also allows you to connect wired computers to the network. 802.11g technologies is the easiest wireless network to implement. The Router uses the wireless 802.11g 2.4GHz standard to offer you 400 feet of wireless coverage. 802.11g technologies is backward compatible with the 802.11b Wi-Fi networking standard, so it allows you to implement faster wireless technologies in combination with existing 802.11b Wi-Fi networks. Firewall Features - MAC Address Filtering, SPI Management - Web Based WAN Port(s) - 1 10/100 Mbps Ports - 4 Ethernet - CAT6, CAT5e

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great item, easy to use, does the job well, is affordable
Comment: Just installed the router in a few minutes and has been working great since then. I would definitely buy it again.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Works Flawlessly
Comment: This is an excellent product from Belkin. I did have problems setting it up and initially I thought it was because I had Windows Vista. This router's instructions are not really for Windows Vista since it was released before Vista. I ended up installing it on a laptop with Windows XP and still had problems, which led me to discover the real issue was my cable modem not working at the time of installation (sometimes you need to just restart your cable modem and the wireless router so they sync up with each other, too). Once the modem came back, the router worked just fine on every laptop with wireless that I logged on with, including the one with Vista. I use the router predominantly with a Vista laptop and never have had any problems since setting the router up that were actually related to the router. The only time I experience drops is when my cable modem is not working.
The signal is excellent. I use the router upstairs, and when I take my laptop downstairs the signal only drops one bar but I still surf the net with no complications or drops. I also have my iPod Touch on the wireless network, too, and it works well with that.
The installation CD that comes with it is basically unnecessary, it seems, except for helping you set up a security password so others can't get on your network. You can hook computers without wireless into the back of the router, allowing for their connection to your cable modem. The connections of all our computers are basically as fast as they were before.
So far, this has been a great buy--no problems at all. I have had irritating routers before, including my last one from Belkin that seemed to need to be reset every so often in order for my laptop to connect to the internet. Not with this router--money well-spent for a cheaper router that still gets the job done.

Summary: Cheaply constructed, power cord didn't stay plugged in!
Comment: The cheapest construction imaginable -- we literally had to hold the power connection with our hands to keep it from falling out. Save your time, save your money, and go with another product.

Summary: Uncertain
Comment: I installed this on a macmini to work with an Asus. Both indicated installation was not sucessful and I cannot modify whatever happened. BUT it is working fine. Tried to connect to an elderly Bell using ME (and a Belkin USB receiver) and have no luck at all. I'm waiting for son-in-law to make it work over Christmas visit. The primary reason for purchase was to enable the Asus to work, thus 4 stars, and it does that. Complications are probably my errors.
