Product Review Summary: Good wireless router

This is my first wireless router so my only comparison is to a wired connection. I love my wireless router. My husband set it up and said that he had to go through the steps 3 times to before it worked; I can't say if it was user error or an issue with set up since I wasn't present. We have it set up in the basement and use our laptops upstairs. The signal strength is very good and I do not have an issue with dropped connections to my wireless router. The router only has one antenna even though the picture shows two. I chose this router based on other customer reviews on various sites including Amazon and based on my needs. I don't have a wireless N card on any of my pc's so I didn't get an N router. I chose this one because it is a little better than a regular G router, it is affordable (good price and free shipping from Amazon), and it is fast. I check email and surf the web. My husband is a gamer. Before we received the router, he said he would never use it because it would cause lag on his online games. After trying it out, he now plays wirelessly full time. So far we haven't had any issues with it after about 1 month of daily use.

Product Review Summary: Weak Signal

I bought this as a potential replacement for my 2WIRE router, which I've had for quite some time. 2WIRE is pretty expensive, and this looked like it would meet my needs.

I really did not have an easy time setting this up. Naturally, my ISP wasn't listed. The setup instructions are clear, but if you miss or drop a signal, the setup will stop. Then you have to reinsert the install disk and start all over. I did succeed, only to find that the best signal I could get was 4 out of 5 bars, and that's with my laptop only about 20 feet away and not a single solid wall between router and laptop.

I'm holding on to it still, as a backup, but if I ever need it, I'll be shopping for a bargain on another router.

Product Review Summary: Good for the price

Bought this for $35 on Amazon. Setting it up was not a problem, although my earlier Linksys and older Belkin routers were much easier. I always get the maximum speed my internet service provider promised, so I guess it works. Probably not worth if you are to pay more than $35. Currently the item is under review by Amazon, and they are not selling it, so may be look somewhere else.

Product Review Summary: Beware!

On 7/24/09 I bought this Router. It stopped working after 8 months. I called a Belkin agent several times and each time the agent was not able to fix it. She then told me that it was my firewall's fault and hung up on me. (I do not have a firewall.) Several times before on other products, Belkin gave me the wrong information. I will never buy a Belkin product for as long as I live. Why does Belkin give warrenties? They obviously don't stand by them. The only thing I will take from them now is stock in the Company! (The agents were very difficult to understand, too.)

Product Review Summary: good stuff

Strong signal with small footprint. Needed tech support to get things going but they did an excellent job getting me through it.
