Belkin Wireless Router Reviews/Recommendations?

My parents have been seriously thinking about buying a new router lately, and right now they're leaning towards Belkin (for reasons I do not know ).
Any reviews/recommendations based on your or anyones experience with them?
This is the first time I've ever heard of them, guess they're not so popular... I wonder why

I know Belkin is a company that sells pc accessories, cables, data switches, UPS, etc. Whatever routers they sell are made by someone else. At this point in time I would buy a wireless G router with ethernet ports for a wired network. This will cover all your bases for whatever type of connection you have or will have in the future.
Something like this

Looks ok to me. It has the G wireless and four 10/100 ports on the back.
Here is a good deal on it

Also read this review and remember to set up the wireless security properly as mentioned in the article.
