Installing a netgear works perfectly. 2 different belkin routers, each at different locations...mysteriously stop routing. dhcp works, internal network traffic works...but ping yahoo.com or msn.com...nothing. restored factory default settings...nothing. upgrade firmware...nothing. install linksys...everything so remember guys BELKIN IS BROKEN smowk I am not a great fan of Belkin but I have my issues
