Wireless networking is almost taken for granted these days, and most people would hardly give it a second thought if it works properly. Belkin, unfortunately, took a bit of a hit in my eyes when two of their earlier model routers were plagued by overheating problems that shut down the wireless connection until allowed to cool and restarted.
Happily, they seem to have overcome their problems. With one of the best reception ranges I've come across to date, I have no issues sitting in my garden while connected to the router around 30 metres (and 1 external wall, 2 internal walls) from me; actually, it goes further than that, but my garden doesn't! The range is complemented by excellent speed and, most importantly, I haven't encountered any overheating or reliability issues at all.The setup and option pages are fairly standard Belkin affairs; easy enough to use while not looking terribly impressive - all the important functions are there, however, and clearly marked so even someone with limited experience in wireless networking can block unwanted computers or set up WPA keys, port forwarding, etc.
I'd certainly recommend this; if you've fallen foul of Belkin routers before, try this one. You might be pleasantly surprised.
