It features 802.11g technology that makes accessing files and networked peripherals-such as hard drives, printers, CD-ROMs, and DVDs-easier than ever. 802.11g technology provides you with networking speeds nearly five times faster than the current Wi-Fi (802.11b) standard. An integrated, 4-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch also allows you to connect wired computers to the network. 802.11g technology is the easiest wireless network to implement. The Router uses the wireless 802.11g 2.4GHz standard to offer you 400 feet of wireless coverage. 802.11g technology is backward compatible with the 802.11b Wi-Fi networking standard, so it allows you to implement faster wireless technologies in combination with existing 802.11b Wi-Fi networks. | | | Features: | |

 Cheap, functional, lifetime warranty!Nov 07, 2009
This Belkin Wireless-G router (F5D7230-4) is cheap (frequently found to be less than half the price of the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router). It is easy to setup, and has robust security options (WPA2/TKIP, MAC filtering, no SSID broadcast, etc.). Firmware is easy to update. Belkin provides a lifetime warranty on it (no longer true for their latest generation of products like the F5D7234-4).
I have two. I use one of the as a travel router (yes it is small enough, although I miss my Linksys WTR54GS and I may consider moving on to one of these). The second I use as a WAP in my basement (my Actiontec MI424WR just can't deliver the signal I need in the basement).
Excellent value for the money...Nov 05, 2009
I'm not really sure how much more there is to say about this little wireless router... It's small, easy to install, and so far reliable; and, for around $30, you really can't beat it (I think I paid $23 + Shipping). I will say that I am an average user, i.e. net surfing, images, videos, etc. I have the router connected on the first floor of my home and I get great connection from anywhere in my house... second floor, basement, etc. So far, I am very happy with it; and, if something happens to change my mind, I will be back here to post that too...
 The worst router everOct 24, 2009
I have been using wireless routers for about 10 years now, but have never come across a router worse than this one. It is totally unreliable, disconnects every 2 minutes, you need to reset it to make it work.
Stay away from it.
Repetedly loses the wireless connectionSep 27, 2009
This router will work fine for a few hours. It will then lose the wireless connection and the only way to get it back is to unplug and plug the router back in, wait a few minutes and the connection comes back. I would not recommend buying it.
Not worth the timeSep 19, 2009
I bought two of these routers about a year ago to be used in two different locations. Both of them worked terribly.
In location A, connecting four wireless computers, one wired computer, as well as various other devices that would connect from time-to-time, the connection speed was terrible. Watching videos online, for example, would allow about thirty seconds of the video to load, and then never continue loading. In addition, there would be random disconnects that could only be solved by disconnecting the power supply. How long it worked after that was a gamble. Sometimes it would be a few days, other times it would be disconnected again by the time I sat down from restarting the router.
In location B, it was slightly better, but would randomly not assign an IP address to the computer. The connection speed was very slow, also, just in in the first location.
