Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Wireless-G Router DSL/Cable Gateway
Customer Review: GREAT for giving my Wii access to my DSL service!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked one of these up just this afternoon, and, within fifteen minutes (probably less than), I was on the Wii shop channel getting myself into trouble! I got myself a Wii a week ago, and wanted a quick and easy way to utilize all of its features, including its wireless 'Net surfing capabilities. I thought it was going to be SO much more involved than it turned out to be!
In order to see just how much work it'd be, and how many pennies it'd cost me, I hauled myself down to my local Big blue and gold Tech toys store, where I found (and purchased) this same router for double the price (I've since ordered it from here). There was so much less involved in getting this going than I EVER would've expected: take it out of the box, disconnect the power and Ethernet cable from your existing modem, plug the Ethernet cable into an empty blue port on the back of this little number, take out the cable they package with the router, plug one end into the green port, and the other into the port from which you took the other Ethernet cable (the cable that had previously been connected to the back of your modem), plug the power back in to the modem, wait for it to reboot, plug in the DC power source to the router, and you're off and running! That's IT! And, at the price it's being offered for on Amazon, it's cheaper than getting the crud I'd have needed to make my Wii wired, AND I don't have to contribute to my existing rat's nest of computer and entertainment center wires! SSSOOOO easy, and SSSOOOO worth the pennies you'll find this for on Amazon! As for power, no, it's probably not the fastest and best wireless router out there, but at this price, it's great to start with, if you're trying to keep costs down!
Also, what you've read about the CD packaged with this router is true: almost completely useless, outside of the PDF of the user's guide. I put the disc in (after being warned by the other reviews here), to find it as useless as I'd been warned it was. The PDF guide and links to the Belkin website (from which I set up my router's name and security features) were the only worthwhile things I found on that disc. So, yeah, the disc is pretty much worthless.
I DID notice that Belkin no longer ships this unit with Protected Mode on, so that's an improvement (don't know if it relates to ChurchOfJesusChrist.Net's review or not, but...), and one less thing that you'll have to tweak. Overall, this is the best deal that I've found on a wireless router, and it's super easy to get up and running.
Especially if you have a Wii and are WiFi deprived, go ahead and grab one of these! It's worth every penny if you're a frugal shopper like me! And, really, if you weren't looking for a great deal, would ya really be spending all of this time shopping Amazon.com?!? I think not!
Get it! It's a bargain!
