Please Buy Linksys or anything but Belkin. There is no worse headache than the constant dropped internet connection. Belkin is the worst waste of money I have spent on internet connection.
When it is working it is fine. It's ok - I've had it a while and it is still kicking. I had better luck with Linksys. Customer service does not seem to be US based, but it is ok. It does lock up on a somewhat regular basis - few times a week - so it requires frequent unplugging and plugging back in. The cord and socket are robust enough to take it.
this router works perfectly sending & receiving signals from it's downstairs locations to upstairs where i typically use my laptop.quick & easy setup
And I forgot to power off 3 days ago, to find it dead by next day evening. That's a fantastic service from Belkin. I check the voltage from power adapter, it shows pretty less than what it should deliver. Now, I have ordered the same for a friend of mine from Amazon. So, I would say, setup is easy if followed the instructions correctly.I use my laptop in various rooms of my house, never fails. I bought it a year ago. Though it took about 1 1/2 hour to setup(it's my fault not to follow the instructions, with overconfidence), once setup, it works without any issues. By the way, why I chose Belkin againt Netgear is for one good reason.
I used to forget yet times. They have customer support and sales in India too. I did my own tests and failed. I will recommend this product. They asked my details to send an e-mail confirmation for a replacement, they did it in 3 days. I have Dell laptop and netgear has compatibility issues with dell laptops. Then called customer support, they asked me to few tests, all failed. We have to use blue cable when asked to use blue cable and I used the other cable that I had, it caused the issue.
Used a different adapter, now the power light glows but nothing else seems to be glowing. All failed to work with netgear.I usually power it off when I don't use it. Signal never drops to zero. I saw it with at least 3 models Dell Latitude 610, 620 & 630.
Basically the router is done. Im having to do it every two days. I've heard ppl say try changing the channel from auto to a static channel, that doesn't work, because mine has always been on a static channel and it is still doing it. I have owned this for over a year. Save yourself a headache and extra $$ and buy a good router or you will be shelling out even more $$ replacing this one every year. After that I started loosing signal for no reason. First year was fine. The only way to get it back was to do a hard reset.
