Also the company offers 24/7 technical support. It is an excellent product. I did not have the internet signal in my room before and now i have five bars.
3 hours later new firmware was installed and it finally worked. Well it works now. Very disappointing, hopefully this is fixed now if you order one. Seems like if they have the new firmware they should just put it on there at the factory. I was expecting to just plug it in and connect the cables. We ended up having a field service representative from the cable internet company talk to Belkin customer service.
While this may be a capable router, the configuration is relatively simple. there is significant difference between the versions. Having an older model of the F5D7230-4, which is the model number for this router. Not only is it different than my older router, the UI is also different between the two new ones.this may not be too much of an issue for most.
This is capable. mostly for my use, I wanted to bridge my wireless connections to insure I had complete coverage in my large home. Customer support at Bangalore Belkin was of little help - they assumed I knew little or nothing of hardware, software, or firmware. Beyond that, go with something else. They were clueless when I informed them of my intent and needed to pass me along to a supervisor and level 2 support.If all you need is a wireless 4-port router for a limited coverage area. I do have some significant issues.
However, these do not support it. Despite the price. I recently ordered two, and the user interface for these two is different. But, I purchased them wrongfully assuming they would have the same features as my older F5D7230-4.
When I got a brand new Motoroloa cable modem it wouldn't work with it at all. I would rather just plug the wire into my computer. I bought this from Walmart because of the price tag. besides all of that it was incredibly SLOW. Save you money and buy something better. But after the first day it would keep dropping the connection to my modem. I would have to reinstall the software at least once a week.
Avoid. I spent ages thinking it must be the laptop, but it's just this cheap piece of junk. I have to reboot my laptop every time it hibernates to use the wireless. When I disconnect this and reconnect my old Linksys, I don't have this problem.
