From the Manufacturer

The Belkin Wireless G Router lets users share files and a broadband Internet connection among their computers-without using networking cables. 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.

Customer Reviews

Easy setup, works great with Mac
I was looking for a compact wireless router for my small (600 sq.ft.) apartment. From out of the box to being on the web took less than 10 minutes. After being guided by a few easy steps from the installation CD, my Powerbook was connected and I was able to get a strong signal even if I went into the other room from where the unit was plugged in.
It is, as another reviewer noted, smaller than it appears in the photo and you have the option of standing it on it's side, which further reduces it's footprint.
I would recommend this to anyone with a small apartment or condo who wants wireless connectivity without bells and whistles, and wants a simple design style that blends in with a small space.

Fantastic product!
The setup for this router could not have been easier. It is laid out in plain language and takes about 3 minutes total. I have a fantastic signal in my entire apartment, really really fast internet for it being wireless, and I have never had a problem with losing the signal.

Great router for cheap price!
This router has everything. I am using this as a wireless bridge to extend my wireless coverage to downstairs in my old house which doesn't have wireless friendly walls and floors.

It has WPA/WEP protection. 4 port 10/100 switch. Great web interface. Nice and small. Has MAC filtering. Wireless bridging of course. MAC filtering for wireless bridging. Have this bridged to a D-Link DI-634M.

No cons whatsoever that I see!
