I was in the same boat until yesterday. For 8 months I've been pulling my hair out with -- not just one -- but two different Belkin routers. Horrible, horrible, horrible --- so bad that I wound up tapping into my next door neighbor's signal (with her knowledge) back in January. Yesterday, picked up a Netgear N900 for $180 and it is fabulous -- total coverage to the max. I'm flinging that Belkin piece of crap into the trash later today.
