Does anyone have any experience with these products?
I wasn't able to find very many direct comparisons.

The belkin router got generally good marks, so i am
inclined to go with it. Linksys seems the safe
choice though.

I'm using the Belkin and am pleased with the coverage. It has a lifetime
warrenty, so I fail to understand your "safe bet" comment.

Ditto coverage and signal is excellent here. If you want the best
effects of the router all users of the router ideally should have pre-n
wireless cards.

Safe in that linksys is a well known name. One review has the belkin as
requiring occasional reboots to keep it working. Did you find that?

Slightly OT, but are any of you using the Belkin pre-n pc card in a Dell
  laptop? If so have there been any issues with the card "freezing" the
OS  during operation or boot-up? I'm trying to verify some anecdotal
concerns with the Dell laptops (see the Belkin Forum at dslreports.com).

Thanks,
Harvey

yes, disabled the built in 1350, and pre-n card works fine on this laptop.
