    I know in the past Belkin has been kinda on the cruddy side. but how about now? I was thinking about the 300N one to replace my Trendnet router. How good is the Signal? cause It has that Mutibeam or whatever. EVER router ive ever had so far never worked great downstairs even though it only goes through like 1 wall through the stairs. really not that far from where its positioned.

    Just going off the Amazon reviews, I wouldn't buy it.

    Amazon.com: Belkin Surf N300 Wireless N Router: Electronics

    I just replaced my WNDR3300 with a Linksys E2000. It cost around $50.

    Its been pretty solid so far, no random reboots or lack of connectivity issues.

    Specs:

    Broadcom BCM4717 @ 354 MHz
    32MB Ram
    8MB Flash Memory
