Are Belkin routers any good?

I have a NETGEAR router. It's ok...though. I have a G router that signals the whole house...I have also heard Linksys is a good brand.

Linksys is good, also had nice luck with a netgear router. Make sure you can put DD-WRT on it. Really adds a lot to any router
I second that. I have Netgear router righthere in my room that I believe I have had since 2005. It only acts up occasionally, and hasn't had any major problems since I got it. Any internet problems I usually have are due to the modem it is connected to. I'm only familiar with Netgear, so that is what I would recommend.  :biggrin:

They are ok, I really wouldn't pick one as my 1st choice but my friend has one that he's used for a few years without problem.

I have the same Linksys router as a whole group of you...got it Dec 06 and haven't looked back.  Only required one reset in that time.

Compared to Linksys routers, they suck.  Also have a Belkin wireless desktop and USB stick as well, and I really don't like either (got them cheap/free).

Yeah, don't get a Belkin. Mine only lasted for less than a year, and it kept disconnecting.

I now have a new router and it is working really well.

It is a Netgear WNR3500 (Wireless N Gigabit Router)
