Don't forget 1% at Ebates!!! Save 50 cents!

Actually I currently use this router and it is OK. Just make sure you have the latest firmware, which is pretty easy to install. I'm not specifically sure about Belkin rebates, but I have had excellent responses from Belkin tech support, so I think they are a good company.

Nice find. This is a cool looking router. I'd get it if I wasn't loving my SMC Barricade

This router was a huge pain when I had it a few months ago. By default the router blocks out every port except the most vital ones like http, dns, https, etc. The router would let you unblock like five single ports but not port ranges such as 100-200. The only way to really use a lot of programs for me was to set my computer as DMZ so everything got forwarded, but not a good solution. I sent the router back to dell of course, but they might have fixes some of these issues with firmware. Also I remember the router had lots of crashes, had to unplug and plug it back in every couple hours as it would lose internet connectivity. I would definitely stay away from this router unless these issues have been resolved.

Yeah, exisle... it does block almost all ports, but the new firmware, which it dl's and installs automatically if you click the button, gives you the option to open about 30 ports. Great router for low-end connections, but horrible if you're planning on needing a lot of ports opened. Also:

NEVER GOT THE REBATE FROM BELKIN!! Called, and they said that it was processing.... 6 months...? Called recently, and they said that they had never gotten the info. Oh well... give it a shot.
