KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN; MOST UNRELIABLE COMPLICATED ROUTER
by CASTLEGATESSSSSSSS on November 17, 2011
Pros: WORKS OK WHEN IT'S WORKING
Cons: FIREWALL KEEPS TURNING ON BY ITSELF BLOCKING WEB CONTENT THAT SHOULD NEVER BE BLOCKED. I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON THIS POS SETTING IT ON A WEEKLY BASIS. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY (THE LAST ONE WASN'T MUCH BETTER).
Summary: PIECE OF ANIMAL FECES! NEVER BUY THIS COMPANY'S ROUTER! ALTHOGH CUSTOMER SERVICE ANSWERS A LOT, I'VE SPENT HOURS TOTAL JUST FOR A ROUTER THAT SHOULD PLUG & PLAY. ...

Horrible. Just horrible. Don't buy.
by Jawnawthawn on January 12, 2013
Pros: > Good internet speed for time you have it
> Cheap $20 (Compared to other routers)
> Chance of picking it self back up after connection is dropped
Cons: Where to start...
> Drops connection frequently
> Centers most connection on one central node
> No "sharing of the connection"
> Distance is quite horrible required to have good connection
> Slows max connection speed when one user is using

Summary: I have been using this router for the past year now, and I have been going through frustrating things with this router as well. Having playing an online game, only to have my connection slowed greatly at times where I need it the most, or just plainly dropping my connection. It does sometimes fix the drop by itself, saving me the trouble of having to get up and restart it with the power cords.
I have also been using this with the family across the house. One person would be watching Netflix, one surfing the net, one on a gaming console, while I play online games. For 600Megabits/s (Please note the difference between Megabits and Megabytes, for they are not the same. Eight Megabits makes up one Megabyte), you would think it would be capable of holding up all of those things at once (given that it hadn't dropped the connection already), but then you are disappointed to see that 5/6 of the connection is held for one single thing, leaving everything else with a rubbish connection, where absolutely no connection can be even made.
There also had been times where I had been the only person using it, and I would even get worse connection speeds than rather if someone else was using it with me. Then I would get up and restart the thing, and it's back to it's fullest speed it can offer. It could be the fact that the connection distance is so bad, that I literally have to sit next to it for the entire time I want to do some gaming, or that it just does that sometimes.
What I'm trying to say is that this is a horrible router. Please do not buy this. It's a waste of your precious time doing what ever you do, and insanely frustrating just to have to restart it five times a day. $20-30 is a really cheap price for a router, and I can see why it is a cheap price. It even said that this comes with an option to have 5GigaHertz dual-band, but of course, that doesn't work. Ripping you off even more, with the other problems I had already listed.
If you are looking to play multi-player games with a wireless router, I defiantly do not recommend this. It can be done, but you're probably going to have to take more time restarting it than actually playing the game. This router is more of surfing the internet, than playing video games. Find a router that's something like $40-80, do some research on it to find out if you're getting ripped off if you buy it, then go for the buy, because if you don't, then you're going to have the same experience with about 1/3 of the things I have bought, and that experience is horrible.
TL;DR - Router is ripping you off immensely. Don't buy.

IF It is working Do not update the firmware
by TallinNightshade on February 29, 2012
Pros: looks nice and easy to use..... if it is working
Cons: Buggy firmware
Summary: Upgrading the firmware will lock you out of adjusting the Qos settings and thus you have lost use of one of the selling features of this router.

Poor engineering

Summary: Great on paper. In reality, most features are buggy. Once installed, I was really happy as things worked well. But after a day thing changed... Wireless on 5G had spotty coverage. The most annoying was that my over 24-48 hours my WAN connectivity dropped from my normal speeds (25mbs) to about 4mbs. WIth router being reset, the speeds would go immediately back to 25mbs. Good luck with setting DNLA, too. Belkin has to do much better job on their firmware if they want to be seen as a serious contender.The fact that they have a 'feature' that resets the router on a periodic schedule should have been a clear red flag...
Replaced this with Netgear and things are humming now.

Junk - look to another brand.
by tae_dan on August 5, 2011

Cons: Video Mover does not work on either Windows Media Player or PS3. Files don't get served. No DHCP reservation. No Traffic Meter. No WAN IP release/renew. Very ugly design.
Poor tech service (not because they are nasty or anything) but because they fa
Summary: No match to a Linksys or Netgear.

Back to Linksys
by mlooney on June 24, 2011
Pros: Features sounded cool in the store
Cons: Last time I buy a Belkin. For $90 I expected not to regret having strayed from Linksys products. Constantly drops signal on my mobile devices and laptops for no apparent reason. Frustrating, and I hope that Belkin will either refund my money or offer me a

What A Piece of Junk
by OWilliam on May 22, 2011
Pros: None. There are no pros to this piece of junk. It worked for 2 hours then constantly needed to be repowered up and reset. After a month I was no longer able to reset it. Junk. Junk. Junk. I will never buy another Belkin product. Don't Buy It.
Cons: Junk. Constant lost connectivity. Hourly reset.
