Customer Reviews
The router is not 802.11n certified, but in practice, the range and speed are more than satisfactory for a standard ADSL broadband connection. It is certainly a fair bit faster than our old D-Link DSL-G624T router, which reached only g speeds, and began to seem painfully slow at the end of it's useful life.
Yes, it can be temperamental at times, but this doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it. It drops out occasionally but usually reconnects without needing a restart, and for little more than £20, you're not really paying for luxury, it's just a low shelf bargain!
For a basic internet connection, the speed you get most of the time is brilliant, the range is good and the level of security on the router almost reaches overkill, with the ability to make your network almost completely invisible by hiding the SSID (network name), MAC Address filtering so that only the devices you specify can access your network, even if someone else has entered the correct password. On top of all this there is a strong firewall, external ping blocking, WPA password protection and a temporary security log. Basically, it creates a "brick wall" between your network and unwanted intruders - extremely secure!
Overall, for the low price, you get a myriad of security features, dual-band wifi for higher bandwidth devices (you'll only be interested in this if you're a more advanced user), and something else equally technical - the ability to permanently lease IP addresses to wireless devices. This basically means that the space set on the router for wired/wireless devices is less likely to run out, as only a single IP address is leased once to each device.
For the fairly advanced features on the router, it is definitely worth it's weight in gold. I'd struggle to find something else that is equally advanced for the same price. Buy it now and you won't be disappointed, especially for the money you're spending.
we live in a large house and the range of signal is very good .
make sure it is the ADSL one you want though
The set-up software and instructions were very user-friendly. Set-up was not quite hitch-free. Windows 7 initially identified the new network as public. That was easily changed to "home". Then an intial failure to connect was quickly fixed by powering off then powering on the cable modem (to refresh the dynamic address?). Seconds later, all was well. Connecting other computers and devices (including an Android-based Samsung Galaxy SII smartphone) was an absolute breeze using the WPS push-button connection.
In the few days I've had this router, I have never experienced the drop-outs reported by some other reviewers. Firmware upgrades may have resolved any earlier glitches. My network has been rock-solid.
Broadband download speed tests run on the Galaxy smartphone off the wi-fi network with the old Netgear delivered speeds of between 63 and 70mbps. The corresponding figure for the Belkin was around 93mbps, a very worthwhile speed increase of around 50%, presumably delivered courtesy of the latest 802.11n standard.
In terms of range, it's adequate. My home office is on the first floor of a 4-bed detached house. I get a usable signal on the ground floor, and in the opposite corner of the house.
All things considered I rate this router great value for money for a home/office.
I expect Belkin equipment to be ok, but I had to send the item back... Read more
