Customer Review: A Router that leaves you feeling Routed
Summary: 1 Stars
Simply put, this wireless router did not work in my home office enviroment. I bought this model because of the super rebate that Belkin offered. Installation was easy. This particular model of router did not work with my DSL modem and caused temporary outages within my network. I spent over 4 hours with tech support from my DSL provider, Symantec and Belkin. After several tweaks, signal could not be connected consistantly between my DSL modem and my Dell Desktop. Also, my Dell Laptop could not receive the signal transmission from the router. I cannot recommend this Router and I took mine back the store for a refund. I replaced it with a D-Link Wireless Router and it has worked perfectly.Customer Review: Major compatibility problems

I bought two of these routers. I have a D-link DWL-650 laptop 802.11b card, which is one of the most widely used cards on the market. THE ROUTERS DO NOT WORK WITH THESE CARDS. I can establish a connection, and see that the router is there and broadcasting signal, but I cannot get an IP address wirelessly. If I plug in via a wired connection, I immediately get an IP, so I know DHCP is on. I also know my DWL-650 card works b/c I tried it on two other router brands (Linksys and Netgear) with no problem at all. Bottom line: This router is a piece of junk. Save your money and buy something that works.Customer Review: A terrible router overall

This router was my 2nd router of 4 in a long history of using Belkin products. I trust their cables & adaptors, so I thought I could trust their wireless products. I was wrong. First off, the web interface doesn't work with Firefox properly, doing nothing when you click buttons, etc. The firmware update(which will never happen it seems) takes forever to tell you there's no new update. I recently switched back to this model after my netgear wireless router failed, and it just wouldn't work. The "connected" light wouldn't come on, nor could I even use a Cat5 connection. Just keep shopping around.Customer Review: Belkin is just not god for a Router..IT is a WASTE

I bought this and have exchanged it twice in a span of a week.The router has problems in accessing yahoomail and hotmail and the helpdesk would bnever help me through it.I tried it in my friend's place and it had the problem there as well.The helpdesk ppl would never ever understand this problem and also they haven't put anythign regarding this on their website.I would never ever advise anyone buying this router even though it is cheap.I found out how belkin loses its customer base.. "IT LOSES ONE CUSTOMER AT A TIME".I am gonna return this router today ...Customer Review: THIS WILL SPAM YOU!

This router will take a legitimate connection to a web site and turn it into an ad for belkin products! The older models don't but if you update the firmware (like maybe to close a security hole in the future, or for compatibility of a network game) you will start getting ads! There are a couple of articles that are at popular news organizations that confirm this. BOYCOTT, DO NOT UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE!
