Dropped $60 on this one.

I want it rated please, to see if I did a good job.
I just copied the specs from a site, cause honestly, the box had almost nothing on it except speed comparison.

Didn't copy too good, if you look at the original poster, thats the link if you want an easier read, or just click here (http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/belkin-wireless-g-plus/4507-3319_7-31489123.html?tag=specs)

well i dont own one myself, but to me a router is just a router.
however, newegg does have some costumer reviews on it.
Newegg.com - BELKIN F5D9230-4 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless G Plus MIMO Router - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833314017)

Along with this, can anyone tell me how to change my NAT settings from moderate to open?

Nevermind, took me like to 2hours to find out how, but I did it.

I like my wireless G MIMO adapter for my laptop alot, has like 3x the range of my dads wireless G adapter, i'd imagine the router would be good too as well.

I use Wireless-N at the moment but I can say that almost everything Belkin does has a decent quality to it. Belkin is one of the few brands I'll trust above most others.

I had purchased the same wireless router. At first it almost seemed like it made my internet connection faster! But as time went on, the performance of the router started slipping or something because my internet was starting to get slow as hell. At times it wouldnt even work at all, i would have to unplug it for like 20 mins and plug back in to get the thing to work again. Maybe i got a bad one? Or can they just not pass the test of time? Anyone else had this problem?

I had a similar issue with my first Wireless-N router but the latest has worked flawlessly.

I have a Linksys router. After the initial struggle with it making it work, its clear sailing from then on. I'm pretty satisfied with it. I had it plug to a computer for awhile, then it wasn't connected to one, and was only operating with wifi. Now its on top of the piano and I'm connected directly to it with my brother across from me in the living room. Remember theres also updates for it.
