Never had a problem!
I use the F5D7633uk4 Router and run 3 online game servers through it. Had no trouble setting up port forwarding and have very few problems with downtime. I reboot the router on average once a week (this is good practice with any computerised/computer equipment) as a matter of course - it takes around 30 seconds to do this - and everything is running well. It was also VERY easy to set up (I tried many many routers before this one, different brands, and not one of them would allow my game servers to run through them) even with the servers and took maybe 5 - 10 minutes - this would be quicker without having to configure port forwarding (or virtual servers). The F5D7632uk4 model is all but identical so should be as simple to set up and as reliable.

Hope this helps anyone thinking about getting one :)

Only buy if you like rebooting routers
Haven't used this gadget since I dumped it under my bed three weeks after buying the damn thing. The wireless aspect was as strong as an ox with a great range from upstairs, but the router itself dropped out constantly. Also had to chase up for the USB dongle and never received repayment for the postage in returning the first package.

On the subject of the wireless dongle: strangely, it worked without installing the Belkin drivers at all - I just lied to XP and it was happy to play ball.

I normally like Belkin equipment - in fact my current wireless access point is from them - but I have no idea how any good reviews of this particular item could have been written. I too work in IT, and am well used sorting out problems with kit. Couldn't get this piece of tat to stay working consistently at all.

Don't waste the calories on clicking on anything else to do with it.

PLEASE Don't Buy This Router!!
I bought this router only a year and a half ago, but already I am having to buy a new one. Only a month or 2 after buying it, I noticed that it got hot VERY quickly, and within half a year, I was having to turn it off overnight once a week because it got too hot to function any more. Last week, it finally gave up the ghost, for the wireless side of things at least. I assume that it fried its circuit board because the thing gets roasting hot!! At least it still works over LAN (Always look on the bright side!)

Now going to invest in a Netgear router because I cant be bothered with Belkin anymore, all I've had is problems with this one!

Hope this helps people!

Doesn't work with BT Broadband
Bought this router.
Spent 1 week trying to get it to work...
Configuration was fine.
Lot's of phone calls to BT.
Took it back, bought Linksys adsl/router instead.
Linksys worked straight away.

You do the math.

I hope this helps people!!
Ok.. i know what i'm doing with these things lots of practice at home and work etc, but for everyone out there who isn't sure.. this could end in tears...

2 hours and its all working fine, it should have taken 10mins thou!!!

Its seems that Belkin in their infinite wisdom have supplied slightly dodgy drivers (version 1) for the wireless card(dongle) so...
SET UP ----

router - 2mins to set up very easy and so far works without any problems and issues so far ....

The wireless dongle.. OMG!!! - 2 hours!!
My advice is (if you buy it) go to the belkin website and download the version 4 drivers for the 7050 card (which is what you get in this pack) install that and it works very easily!!! I had to remove the registry keys that the Belkin software put there itself that were wrong!! I know you shouldn't have to do this, but the hardware works fine and most of the reviewers complains are due to this driver issue!
Thus - 4 stars .. 5 for the product -3 for the stupidity of Belkin! if you have understood the problem that i've had with the installation.. its quite a good router really!!!
If you have no clue and are completely new to routers DO NOT BUY if you have no one to help you!! Frustration and tears and ultimately sending it back to amazon await!
