I purchased this router to replace a forever flaky BT Homehub (V2).
There aren't really many options for a decent router with built in ADSL modem so I finally decided on this one. I would normally use Linksys by Cisco kit for ADSL routing but this packs more features and offers Dual Band at it's very good price. Dual Band allows 2.4GHz band connection as well as 5GHz. 2.4GHz will allow all devices to connect but is also the most used frequency where as 5GHz not many devices run on and should your computer be compatible will allow you to connect with minimum interference.
Setup was easy, you can either put in the disc and run through the setup after connecting via cable or wireless (Default SSID/Wireless Key is already generated and printed on the router). I connected to the GUI via 192.168.2.1 and setup as needed. After inputting my ISP details I was connected within 5 seconds and it has never disconnected since! (40 days ago)
The speed is better and more stable than ever and I can finally stream full HD content over the wireless without slowdown. File transfers are quick and the router has been let up speed in anyway.
Features wise it has everything you would expect, apart from IP assignment (Defining which computers use which IP from the router). This is a very basic setting which almost all routers allow normally so I have marked it down. The way around this is to assign the IP on each individual PC.
The build quality overall is a little cheap feeling, although looks great the casing is made of cheap plastic so would no doubt not survive any form of drop. I am also not a huge fan of the upright design, it's fine to have it optional but use inside perhaps a cabinet might be difficult. There is no option to lay it on it's side and the stand is not removable.
It is worth noting the above has been reviewed on the latest firmware as of 20/03/2012, I have read many reviews stating that previous firmwares have had issues so make sure you upgrade if possible.

I had a talkTalk wireless router, which I couldn't live one more day with it.. so I bought this belkin's product and I can now enjoy youtube without even have to buffer once =)
It helps if you buy a dual band network card.
