    I have to say that in terms of features, these look very appealing.
    I'd very much like for Hexus, or any Hexite, to put the 'self-healing' claim to the test!

    Yep, other than the fact that its Belkin (and in my experience, they are not a good quality manufacturer).

    Kicking off the range is the entry-level Surf Wireless Router, priced at £49.99 (or £69.99 for a model incorporating an ADSL/Cable modem). Designed to provide reliable web access, it offers Wireless N connectivity, four Ethernet ports and just one bundled application; Self-Healing, an app that "automatically detects and resolves network problems and runs routine maintenance scans to give you the clearest wireless channel".
    A belkin router that provides reliable web access that would be a first... every morning i have to pray to the belkin router gods to make my router stay on the whole day without crashing! Just posting this message means i would have to sacrifice a goat or something...

    would be nice if belkin could make routers that are reliable before adding all the extra stuff.

    Re: News - Belkin launches Surf, Share and Play routers

    gotta say Belkin are far superior to many of the other routers on the market, and the principle of this product range is very interesting.

    Our news article seems to just touch the surface too, because i think this is the kind of higher spec range of product that knowledgable but slightly less experienced people might buy.

    ie my Dad.

    Knows his PC very well, knows what he wants and how he wants it.. but can't actually create the network environement himself, and would love nowt better than to click a button and have the new network PC sorted etc.

    I think Belkin might have a bit of magic here.... look forward to seeing how it fares in the shops.

    Re: News - Belkin launches Surf, Share and Play routers

    Couldn't agree more. And even for myself, although I can set up a network without dhcp etc like many of us here, I'd gladly use something if it really did 'just work', provided that it allowed advanced access for the 1% of the rest of the time

    Zak33, have to agree to disagree on the quality of the Belkin products. I mean Belkin were faking reviews online - its a . I have used numerous items and their quality just isn't there.
