Advantages: Size, Price, Range Disadvantages: Initial Connectivity problems
...This is a very, very good piece of kit IF you can get it to work!
It has an in-built 'auto-connect' facility which seldom works and with the 3 networks I have had to install them on, it needed to be hard wired to a PC and connected that way (rather than connecting to the network as Belkin advise). For the price, you cant really grumble, especially if the alternative is installing messy CAT5 cable, or if that is not even an option.
It has managed to extend my wireless range (from a Belkin G+ Router) by about 70 meters, with 3 large buildings in . If you can navigate your way around SSID and Security setting issues, it is a useful, and stable bit of hardware!...

Advantages: Data transfer in an instant Disadvantages: None
...Quick, easy access to all of your digital photos with the plug and play feature and drag and drop file transfer.
Requirements needed are an available USB port, and Windows 98' or above.
Contents provided are the Belkin USB Media Reader/Writer, a user manual and an installation cd.
After installing the drivers for the hardware simply plug the Belkin USB Media Reader/Writer into a USB port and place the compact flash card into the slot in the hardware. Instant downloading of all your digital photos takes place, transferring the data into a folder on your pc.
Simple, effective, time saving data tranfer all available with the very cheap (£19.99) Belkin USB Media Reader/Writer. Available at all leading electrical stores(if they haven't already sold out).
Only bought this piece of kit today, thus can only give a brief op but will update...

Advantages: Very easy to install Disadvantages: More back of PC wires to hide
...Thanks to Belkin, I am now the proud system administrator of a large number of PC's.... 2 to be precise!! I made my original purchase of the Belkin home network starter kit from PC World with disastrous results (please see my separate opinion for PC World)
The kit comprises of 2 10/100 Ethernet cards, 25ft of cable and all the software needed to make installation easy and painless. This includes Belkin 'Netshare' and Belkin 'Netsetup'. During installation I found it necessary to contact the company's product support help line due to the fact that I am sometimes a Pratt and occasionally find it difficult to read the simplest of instructions!! The technical support line was, for a change, a national telephone number and the call lasted only about 2 minutes. The person at the other end of the line was very human and promptly forwarded...

Carrying over 1000 tunes in my bag and at the gym I found it a bit of a waste to be lugging cassettes around especially if I had recently downloaded new tunes. I want to listen to them in my car now! This product allows me the choice of all my music on more
