Although some people may say that setting up this router on Windows XP is difficult, it is actually easier to set up than one thinks. People say that setting up the internet is easy, but then setting up communication between users is difficult. however, all you have to do is edit a few settings in the Local Area Network. First, turn off the Windows firewall. Then, go to Network Connections> Local Area Connection> Properties> Advanced> WINS, and under NetBIOS setting, select" Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. This should clear a path for the network to share between computers. Overall, this router is a good deal, and I have had no problems with the internet connection.

The Belkin router works great. I wanted a network that was easy to set up and Belkin did just that. I swear I had it set up in 3 minutes. I also bought a wireless notebook card and 2 PCI cards. All of them were easy to install, although if you have a computer far away from the router, you will have trouble. One computer with the PCI card can't hook up to the internet because it it too far away. I think there are ways to fix that. As for internet speed, it's really fast.
The one problem is that it is very hard to netwok 2 computers together so I can access the hardrive of one computer from the other. I don't know if it's like that for all wireless networks or just belkin. Also I don't know what everyone is talking about Belkin pop-ups happening all the time. I have never encountered a Belkin related pop-up.
Otherwise Belkin provides fast internet speeds and easy set up thats well worth your money. I highly recommend it. |

This wireless set from Belkin is based on the high-speed wireless standard known as 802.11g (also known by the name "54g"). This standard offers compatibility with widely available 802.11b equipment (running at 11Mbps) but also -- when used with other 'g' equipment -- run at theoretical network speeds up to 54Mbps (thus the "54" in 54g) some five times faster than the "b" standard.
For this review, we looked at Belkin's notebook card (PC Card), a PCI card for desktop computers, and a wireless cable/DSL gateway router. Since we bestowed an Editor's Choice award on Belkin's 802.11b wireless gear, we were eager to see if the new 54g equipment met the same high standard.
All three devices were well designed, solidly built, installed easily and performed reasonably well on Windows XP machines. As we'll point out later, we had some significant issues with the PC Card on a Windows 98 Second Edition machine, so if that's the operating system you are using, we suggest you give our review a close read. One thing we missed: although each of these pieces had a fairly comprehensive user manual, they weren't up to the level we've seen previously from Belkin. In the past, Belkin -- such as with their Ethernet routers -- provided outstanding step-by-step instructions that were perfect for networking beginners. We didn't have any specific problems with the manuals included, they just weren't as comprehensive as we've seen previously from Belkin.
