I am stressed at the time of writing this review I've just tried to get the Belkin Wireless ADSL modem to speak to a Belkin Print Server but to no success whatsoever.
I've been running this Belkin Modem for soon to be a year and I hate it. Its unreliable- it disconnects from the internet unpredicitivly, and takes a while to get back on- does this way too often. It's WAN coverage is poor- I'm in a three story house (attic converted) and it barely gets reception to the lower floor (its on the top floor). The WAN cannot reach the front or back garden.
Configuring this router/modem has been hell- it runs well unsecurely but configuring security for the wireless machines it must speaks to requires numerous restarts and long tedious key entries- wish it could have been quicker. And after all of that it for some reason keeps an insecure Wireless access point available (from the other Antenna- there are two antennas) So the speed of the network is slower- resets, wipes don't fix it.
This modem is not for the technical nuts or gamers out there but it has lasted nearly a year thus far so its quite durable. The unit runs super-hot which means it proabably won't last its working-life period.
Its adequate for now but no where near a product I can even say I like.
Spent ~£150 on it when I bought it... problems started soon after the word go.
Go buy this modem if you can handle going without the internet often. My recommendation: avoid this kit at all costs.

I leave all this stuff to my husband, but it doesn't sound like this would stand up to the sort of use he'd need M xx

Advantages: Lifetime warranty, free technical support (inc. freephone telephone number), easy to set up Disadvantages: Foreign call centre - not necessarily a disadvantage unless the person you speak to doesn't really understand you and you don't understand them!
