This is a pretty good router for no more than what it is, an inexpensive router. It's considerably better than its two Belkin predecessors, some faster on the same not-very-good, rural America so-called broadband connection, and it's had way fewer failures than the Belkins did.
The Setup CD is *HORRIBLE*. The Setup CD is the difference between this router and 5 stars. If you know how to do router setups - if you've ever set one up for yourself - DO NOT use the stupid CD, just plug the router in, plug your laptop into it, and set it up. The admin pages are well labeled and easy to understand. The router itself works like a champ.
I bought it because I can change the firmware in it, but I haven't done that yet. I'm still glad I bought it.
