General Comments

I got the Belkin F5D7630uk4A Router as, quite frankly, I couldn't be bothered with Apples stupid expensive one.

I got it set it up in about 5 minutes, and it is an absolute doddle to use. I am a Cisco/Network engineer, and this is easier than Linksys and most of the others. The downside is that the signal is good for a given radius e.g. we cover our house just fine, but it tails off quite badly when I go outside or in my car - this could be a bonus (security).

The problems the other reviewer had are with his computer and not this equipment. The logging off problem can be easily remedied by looking at the "idle time to disconnect" option and setting it to 0 - effectively never logging off; Therefore never having to reset/restart it. I never rebooted mine for over 9 months!

The other problem I have found (only recently) is that I took it to my girlfriends (her house is hot all the time) and the router loses its connection and restarts. I think it's down to the heat of it, because it feels very hot. I read that there are places where they take the cover off and put heat sinks on the chips.

Despite the negatives. this is a top router for ADSL connections.
