    Have there been forums on the above? My second Belkin having burnt out, I thought I would go for another make and chose the 3Com one. But for the life of me, I cammot get it to work. It appears to be ok,so cannot return it, will work directly, but not from my network as wireless. If anyone should have one of those and tamed it, I would be interested in their findings.

    no wonder you've had no replies, this was in a completely irrelevant forum; teleported to correct forum. i haven't used any wireless printer servers but i've had atrocious & sporadic problems with a couple belkin wireless routers and i will never buy anything belkin again

    creaky,when you say you will not buy belkin again is that because it wouldnt connect to the internet?

    there aren't enough swearwords i could use that would illustrate how many times i had to go up and downstairs every time 2 separate belkin routers (intermittently - the very worst kind of irritating) hung and crapped out even the wired connections.(over a few months). damn things would work 100% for days at a time then crash intermittently, then work fine again for a few days. And here's the rub, they would even hang when all of the attached (wired or wireless) pc's were switched off. Absolute utter atrocious rubbish as far as i'm concerned. they only ever worked if i used just yahoo or sometimes msn messenger. half the time i go anywhere a webpage i'd get hangs. i learnt my lesson buying cheapy routers.

    they run incredibly hot so i put a fan underneath. at first it seemed to help but then the problems remained
