RE: BELKIN 54g wireless gateway router

You only need one wireless router for short distance wireless
applications

I wanted to use the pc's over a long distance that's why I used the
second router as a bridge to the first router to give me twice the
distance which I needed in my application

The router has a built in hardware firewall

All the ip addresses are controlled by the first router. I was just high
lighting how flexible the belkin router are for the cost

Very useful, as I'm trying to decide on a replacement for my current
setup.  I want to add a hardware firewall and a 54g accesspoint to my
existing network (a netgear router and a usb ADSL modem).  So far it
looks like I'll need a replacement ethernet ADSL modem, and an
all-in-one 54g accesspoint/router/firewall.  Belkin is one of the ones
I'm considering.

Why do you have/need two of them?  I thought the usual architecture was
modem into gateway, and wireless cards attach to that, with PCs also
hard-wired into it?  What's the point of the bridge?

Cheers,
Jake.

Just a quick note to say what a great product the BELKIN 54g wireless
gateway router is I bought two identical units and using the latest
firmware set one up as an access point. I set up a bridge between the
units (need to be identical belkin routers) and share my broadband
connection wire free and also have 4 hard wired ports to use on each
router (8 in total). I did have some initial network related problems
but belkin have a freephone number for technical support and they sorted
me out quickly.

The units have various security features including macc address
filtering and you can even specify time windows for certain macc
addresses so you could stop family members using the net after dark.

I shopped around and found comet to be very competative but they are
only avaliable online

The units have been fine now for over two months touch wood

Hope someone find this useful
