Most Favorable Review

good coverage, limited reliability

BELKIN F5D7230-4 Wireless G Router 802.11g
BELKIN F5D7230-4 Wireless G Router 802.11g

Pros: Good coverage, easy setup. Auto generated hex WEP key for use with TIVO

Cons: Needed rebooting every couple of days. Had my voip (vonage) router coneected to it, so phone went down when the wireless router needed rebooting. Returned for another, more reliable wireless router.

Most Critical Review

Unreliable

BELKIN F5D7230-4 Wireless G Router 802.11g

Pros: Cheap. Easy setup and small footprint. Manual configuration page also easy to navigate. Needed WEP security for Tivo- automatic generation of WEP key.

Cons: Drops internet connection about twice daily. Belkin support no help whatsoever. First agent blamed Vista. Second blamed interference from other wireless devices and microwave ovens. He couldn't explain how that would affect the wired connection to the router.

Overall Review: Saving a buck isn't worth the frustration of constantly losing connectivity.
