Replacement For Belking Wireless Crap Modem Router

Sorry Belkin ........... still crap however you spell it. I'm in the UK BTW

I've had good luck with Linksys WRT54G routers and WAP54G access points.

Personally all of my Wireless network gear is Netgear. I use the WGT624

The only caveat I would make about using netgear equipment is that the drivers only work on standard versions Windows 98, 2000 and XP. There is not 64bit support from Netgear at all, any request seems to fall into a large black hole.

Also before purchasing, check on the Netgear website to see which is the latest version of the router you're interested in. Then talk to the suppliers to ensure that the version they have available is the latest that's listed on Netgear's website. Doing this will save a lot of effort and gnashing of teeth.

I know this because the first router I bought was one of the early Netgear 54g models and it was only after purchasing it that I discovered there had been 2 re-releases of the same router with different hardware/firmware. This meant that some of the problems I had with the original router couldn't be resolved by upgrading the firmware alone. I had to replace the router with a much newer model.

Linksys are are also a good, reliable manufacturer from what I've read on the newsgroups.

Hope that helps,
