[Scenario]

I as well have always had issues with Belkin routers. Unfortunately, I have one right now due to how cheap it was when I got it and no other brand had the same features for even near the price.

Either way, if it's still under warranty I'd contact Belkin and have them replace it. Otherwise, learn from your mistakes and switch routers. In my experience, the newer Cisco and Netgear routers are fairly decent. Otherwise, go enterprise!
