   Why would I want another of the crappy things?  Both the wired and
wireless ports slow to a crawl, and the damn things need reset
constantly.  I ran a speed test, and couldn't even get a 1 Mb/S data
rate. I was getting close to five without it.

  I have two FSD5D72304 Belkin routers sitting in front of me that were
used less than a week before I replaced with Linksys WRT54G which work
quite well.

nice to learn Belkin's crap.

Dlink is awful.  Linksys gets a bare pass mark.  Netgear a little better.

Lots of crappy switches and routers out there.

I have always had good luck with the SMC equipment I use for my
network.  Another brand that is easy to setup especially when using
several repeaters is Buffalo.

It's the luck of the draw. I had a wireless netgear router and that
kept on losing the conection with my laptop (needing a reset every 5
minutes). I replaced it with a high speed g belkin router and have not
had a single problem since.
I think that ALL brands of routers still have compatibilty troubles.

   I had the same low bandwidth problems on two brand new units, wired
or wireless.  They are crap.
