I had problems with my belkin, kept resetting itself, I presumed some kind
of heat problem, anyway I found their online 'live' support quite helpful
and after trying a few of their suggestions ended up with them replacing the
unit with a newer model (7632).
However after about six months I now seem to be getting lost connections
with this one, though it might be my line as the phone led flashes when it
happens.
