Highly Recommended
Pros: Performs as advertised, simple setup
Cons: May not be compatible with your printer
The device installed easily and has performed perfectely for about 3 months now. I have no complaints. My one caution to you is that the printer compatibility list appears to be a bit dated. My printer is on the list. Yours may not be.

Great Router @ Print server for the money
Pros: Fast, easy install on XP platform, w/ basic Lexmark printer.
Cons: Just installed my network today, up and running with no problems
Install of everything was easy for this 55year+ guy, and to have the printer in the network will come very handy indeed.
I paid $90 for the router after rebate, and $70 each for the network cards. The Cable Modem ( Motorola SB5100 )I was able to get for $60 after rebate. Everything works together great. Speed is faster than what I have at work, which is dedicated, so I am very pleased. Distance gets me to the deck with my laptop, which is what I was looking for. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, Take a look at the Belkin products. I believe that you will see the value as I did. Lifetime Warranty you don't see everyday also. Say goodby to Dialup, CABLE the way to go!!!

No multi-function printer support
Pros: For wireless connectivity, the router functions flawlessly. The wizards to set up are idiot proof.
Cons: USB Print server doesn't support multifunction printers such as the Epson Stylus CX5200 or CX5400. It took me two hours, and a product return before finding this out. Tech support had NO clue what was going on. Ridiculous!

Cons: Print server function inadequate. Belkin claims the print server feature will work with "most USB printers" Yet they do not have a current list of these printers. Belkin is clearly using their customers as guinea pigs to figure out which printers are c
