Save your money.... this router has several bad bugs. Do a Google search for "Belkin F5D8231-4 Wireless-N N1 Broadband Router" and read about all the problems EVERYONE has/had with this junk. I'm returning it for refund. from Walmart.com Classy look as well. ConsSeriously,,, NONE. Additional ThoughtsI'm pleased that there is a company as Belkin who represents quality.

Like I said I came from an old Belkin router. So the set up was very similar. from Bestbuy.com it took hours to get hooked up, but the customer service at belkin was wonderful, the connection on the phone got broken and she called back. but since the router got hooked up, it works great, and is very fast from Walmart.com What's great about it:?Wireless Range What's not so great:?Numerous Functional Problems "I bought this a couple of months ago to replace an older Belkin router that needed to be reset too often. In the following month or so, we suffered from problems sending e-mail, problems with XBox live and a few others. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Easy to install What's not so great:?NAT and Wireless "I bought this router in hopes that that the N speed would make a difference, but never saw it. With firmware installed on unit it would disconnect about every 11 hours. from Bestbuy.com Despite 8 to 10 hours of calls to tech support, I was unable to get this Belkin router working with my system. At one point, the various efforts to fix problems completely shut me out of the internet. from Buy.com I have owned this product for over a year. The reason why I bought this as because of the N connectivity, and also because it was aesthetically pleasing. The router works fine when wired, however whenever we want to connect a wireless device its a hassle. The "Wireless" LED on the router is almost always off unless a device is connected wirelessly, the only solution is to restart the router to make the wireless connection available. from Amazon.com This went on for a year. Finally, I decided to buy a different brand router (Netgear model WGR614). This router is just a regular wireless-G router. After using it for about four months, it never went down once, and I didn't have to make any changes to some of the low-level settings! from Amazon.com I thought the new "N" protocol would give me improved reception for my wireless computers but when I set security on it I could not get connection. Other wireless routers have been no problem. from Amazon.com
