Murphy Scratch my original review: What every other reviewer is saying is true. Horrible connection, constantly dropping connections...this thing sucks. Going to one of the big box stores to buy a D-Link (which I've never had problems with). Thanks belkin for putting out crap! I had actually originally ordered the Belkin Wireless Play Router (F7D4302). After rereading the differences, I figured I could live without the extra "apps" and the USB port. I'm sure I made the correct choice at this point! First about the physical aspects of the router: When I opened the box I was really surprised. The cables are plugged into the router where they should be already. That might not seem like much, but to explain this to my father on the phone for when his shows up, it will be a snap. There was no "manual", but it is included on the cd. I do like that it came preconfigured with WPA2 and a password on a card. There is space to write down your configurations that you set, and it stores in a little pocket under the router. Next the software and firmware: The application on the CD just takes you to the router config (which you can do through a browser if you know the url which ISN'T a 192.168.x.xxx). The tool automatically configures everything, but I suggest setting a password for the router itself. There is also a program it installs, but I haven't had to use it yet. The firmware gives a bevy of options that I got to playing around with. There isn't anything special here to be honest. QoS is set to on, I've yet to decide whether to leave it or not. I don't have voip, but I stream a lot of movies from my own network and also boxee and Zinc. Some of the menu's don't have as many options on the same page as I would prefer which caused me to browse more pages that I thought necessary. Nit picky yes, but I enjoyed the firmware on my Dlink Gaming Router. Finally Performance and Pricing: Let's be real. It's a excellent performing $49 wireless N router. I've yet to see the value add of the "Self healing" application, but overall, for the price, I didn't see a better offering. Performance wise, I used to be able to transfer 10GB + files on my Dlink Gaming Router (g) at about 2-3Mb/s. I get 12-15 with this one. I'm very pleased. Streaming 10GB .mkv's is no issue at all now. Probably my only true gripe, it feels like REALLY cheap plastic. I personally would have paid $10 more to get a metal case like the netgear switches. This could be a heating dissipation issue, I'm not sure, but like I said, it feels amazingly cheap (and light). Don't need the USB, this is your best bet! 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Low signal strength! Sorry that I bought this. By Gail Stay away from this router. Sorry that I bought this from Best Buy. My old G router worked just as well and had more signal strength and a better antennae. I got this to upgrade my old G that was having problems. I use it to stream netflix movies to my home theater. This router is less than 40 feet away on the same floor of an open living space... and doesn't have enough signal to stream movies without hangups and constant re buffering. If I take my Bluray player that this talks to, out of the TV cabinet and point it in almost direct line of site.. than it will work... If you plan on using this to connect PC's etc in other rooms separated by walls, don't bother with this router. I have to return it and invest in something better. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Belkin Surf By Timo Best cheap router I have bought!
