I live in a country called Chile, in Latin America.
In radio shack.. i found a Belkin router with 4 ports.
It costs 69,000 PESOS which is ABOUT 106 DOLLARS.
My question is, is it worth buying it??
Consider that I live in a country far from the U.S.
Shipping here costs 50 bucks.. even for games.
So.. is it worth buying it?
Well if your looking for a very basic 4-port router, then yes, it will work.
In the realm of budget routers, I'd rather see you buy a Linksys or D-Link, personally. They offer a few more features such as port forwarding, and are probably more widely used, so if you needed advice, then there's more out there to be had.

I came across one once in a network having troubles I went to work on...it went into the garbage in minutes. Belkin makes good cables and adapters, I don't know who really makes this router for them, but, it's down there along with DLink and other wal mart brands as far as I'm concerned.
If you want one that's very easy to use, rich in features, and very compatible, quite problem free...and OK performance...get the Linksys. If you want a bit more performance, the setup/admin is still fairly easy, get a Netgear. If you want total top gaming performance, easy to use web admin like the Linksys, and can afford a bit more..the Nexland ISB SOHO.
