Issues I've Identified
MAC Address Filtering
Did not work correctly with firmware versions less than current version (1.00.011) offered by Belkin's website. Enter the MAC Addresses, save and the router would lock up. A few months down the line I upgraded to the latest firmware (1.00.011) which cured the issue.
