exchnage it, we had the belkin for about 3 weeks, then changed, the netgear is so much better, my mate can take his laptop to my mates house across the road, and sit in his garden and surf the net!!

Thats a good 70m

I have a Belkin wireless PCMCIA card for my laptop, I have to have the router right outside my bedroom door or it won't pick up a signal! :(

I think I should have bought the Netgear one from PC World when I was there!
