Bear in mind...

That the logging on them is naff, you cannot see your signal strengths as you can on some other routers.

Also if you have a 2.4ghz wireless phone it can interfere with if too close.

I have the latest Belkin ADSL wireless router & a bridge (we call it "the Alien"). Have had to reboot the router a few times, wireless is slower than wired, no signal strength problems.

There does seem to be a few differences in what features work in both units, the router has an anhanced G thingy option yet the bridge does not?

The router gets hot (but most do) & the cat likes to sit on it.

There are no utilities to access your router logs to save them etc.

Although there does appear to be an alternative firmware that has been written for Belkin routers.

I have lots of problems using P2p through mine.
