The Wireless G Router has a striking, vertical enclosure that is both handsome and space efficient. By standing vertically, the router takes up less desk space, giving you more room to work. The built-in external antenna provides the range necessary to easily cover an apartment or small office. Six LEDs for Power, Wired, Wireless, Modem, Security, and Internet let you know the status of your network at a glance, making it easy to troubleshoot any problems. G Wireless relies on 802.11g technology and provides a wireless speed of up to 54Mbps. This means that you can surf the Internet, check emails, and chat with friends from the comfort of your kitchen table or couch. You can also share networked peripherals such as a Wi-Fi printer, hard drives, and DVDs. The router is compatible with any 802.11g wireless products and is backwards compatible with 802.11b networks. But for maximum speed and range, the use of Belkin's G Wireless USB Adapter, Notebook Card, and Desktop Card are recommended. In addition to G Wireless, the router also has four 10/100 Ethernet ports at the back, giving you the option to plug in for a steady and secure, fast connection running at up to 100Mbps. Thanks to the strong built-in security, including support for WPA, WPA2, Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and 64-and 128-bit WEP encryption, you will be protected from hackers and intruders trying to gain access to your sensitive files. The router also supports VPN for making secure connections between home and office. Easy to Set Up

 Not a single problem... December 28, 2008

I set this wireless router up for my non-techy parents around Thanksgiving. The setup was probably about half-an hour if you're overly-thorough like me with wanting to check everything out. After the initial setup, the 'rents have not had a bit of trouble connecting wirelessly. I noticed another review (and a comment) mention not being able to make changes to the settings. I didn't experience any of their woes. However, I do remember logging in to the router not being very intuitive and I wonder if that could be causing the issues. I was able to change the default SSID, login password for the router, and setup WPA easily. I set everything up by connecting my laptop directly with an ethernet cord and going to the router's IP address. I didn't use the included software, so I have no idea how well that works. As far as speed goes, I can't tell a difference between this cheapy router and my nice expensive one at home. My parents are only using it for browsing/email, and since they just upgraded from dial-up, they feel like they are flying.
***Update 01/20/09
I just wanted to state that my positive review of this product was not paid for, in light of Belkin's recent pay for reviews scandal (65 cents not really worth my integrity). And my parents still haven't had any problems with this router.
Fast, Easy Setup using the IP address given. Good Value for the money! April 16, 2009

Just purchased this modem from Wal-Mart for $29 (+tax). After reading the reviews here, I decided to try it out myself. Used the Non-routable IP address (192.168.2.1) to configure the router (since others here had suggested it), used the wired connection first. Then had the wireless up and running. Took about 15-20 minutes. Like any G router, the range is limited, but serves my purpose. Video streaming is excellent. Using WPA for Wireless Security. Was able to change the SSID (problem mentioned by another reviewer). Wired and Wireless working fine so far. Will update if things go bad or SSID disappears (mentioned by another reviewer).
Wired setup, is a breeze...just plug and play...after configuring the LAN using IP address.
The wireless setup is a bit more challenging...for a non-tech savy person like me, but after some trial and error things are sorted out.
Overall, very pleased with the buy. Excellent coverage. Ease of setup is the only drawback, however once done it is easy to use.
Working just fine May 23, 2009

This was my first shot at setting up wireless at the house. I never needed it before with just a desktop, but after buying my Lenovo S10 netbook I wanted to experience the convenience of connecting from anywhere in the house. My Belkin G Router cost $30 and was probably the lowest cost unit on the shelves. The package and price give you the idea that this is a bottom-of-the-line model, so no attempt is made to convince you that you are getting more than a basic wireless router.
I used the installation CD on my desktop computer to do the set-up. The steps are quite simple and it doesn't take very long. You can establish the name of your network, and then set up security by creating your password code. It has been running for several days and I haven't had a problem any time I've attempted to connect via the netbook.
Money well spent.
Easy setup and works great May 29, 2009

To make along story short. This router is the least expensive I could find. Set up was a breeze and it works great. Unless you are going to actually wirelessly network your computers it is more that fast enough. Even old wireless B was faster than cable.
Save some cash, buy this router.
Does exactly what it is supposed to do August 14, 2009

I bought this router to work with my Comcast cable internet. I have had problems setting up routers with Comcast in the past, but I have had some success with Belkin in the past so I gave this router a chance. For the price, I figured if it works, that would be great. Well, I was able to get this router up and running within 10 minutes with the included installation CD. Not a single problem, and it was significantly easier than the last time I installed a router with a Comcast internet modem. I was very impressed and would recommend this router for anyone looking for a basic home wireless router without all the bells and whistles of a more expensive N router.
