ONCE you get it setup, it works. This is not plug and play for a wireless dsl modem/router unit.

Pros: Advantages of ethernet versus usb for connection speed and response. Supports multiple security protocols.
Cons: Does not work out of the box. Channel can only be changed in ad-hoc mode.

Summary: This is a new unit from Belkin, patience is required. It should have received a higher rating, here is why it did not. Setup failed repeatedly, I wanted a wireless network with an SBCYahoo 2WIRE wireless dsl modem/router. Tech support failed at SBCYahoo and Belkin (who advised me to return the unit because it was defective), that was not an acceptable response. Finally, went to Belkin's website and discovered new firmware. I also downloaded technical specs from 2WIRE. The reset switch, patience and perserverence were my allies for several hours. It took much more than the wireless setup wizard and printed instructions. You can setup the bridge using a laptop with a cd/dvd rom drive and ethernet port. The desktop PC or network port on a router are best for instant testing confirmation.
Channel selection is made in network settings in Ad-Hoc operating mode. You must step back to change the operating mode back to Access Point for Infrastructure. This should be addressed in future firmware. WEP Authentication was combined Open+Shared, a definite issue. The new firmware has separated them. The DHCP IP address range assigned by your ISP is useful info to have available.
The unit was not defective, it works perfectly. Despite my experience, I recommend the F5D7330 bridge/adapter and would buy another one if needed. The end success was worth the challenge. All of this to use a wireless company laptop that the company will not enable the wireless connectivity and I don't want cable running all over the house when I work at home.
