    I'm not much help, but I've used both netgear and belkin network hardware before. I'd go with netgear... more firmware upgrades for bugs, sometimes better build; doesn't feel cheap.

    Most times I've seen belkin equipment is to fix the problems with them.

    My 2 cents.

    Same here. I've used both Belkin and Netgear, and the Netgear was significantly better than the Belkin.

    Nice! Yep, I'd really go with Netgear also. I've had nothing but success with a Netgear and nothing but trouble with Belkin. ;)
