from Alabama- Gulf on 9/15/2008
This was a new tool when we went off of DSL to Satellite communications for internet, speed is fast and the security good. A great unit for the price and Belkin Customer Service and Support an added security blanket for our business here.
Easy set-up and use.

This is my second Belkin router. It works better than any other router I have used, and the Belkin customer support is excellent.
from TN on 9/10/2008
This could have been a winner, but it quickly turned bad and died and said that my computer was at fault. I plugged in my old router that is a B and it was faster than the N. Go figure.

Prior to the Belkin Wifi Router, I had a Linksys. The network connections were never reliable and the signal strength always seemed low. After setting up the Belkin, I find the Network Connection very reliable and much faster. I have a mixed network utilizing "g" and "n" adapters. Both work well with this router. The lights on the front help in isolating any problems that may arise. Overall, I would recommend this product.

from Knox, PA on 8/20/2008
It doesn't seem to have greater distance of signal than other home grade 802.11g routers/access points that I have experience with.
from NH on 8/14/2008
Good for home network
from Beckley, WV on 8/13/2008
There was some guessing over the security setup, but with some software installation experience it's not too much of a problem. Signal is strong throughout a 2-story house. Belkin customer service was very polite and helpful.Setup including crawling around under the desk to find room to plug in the cables: less than 15 minutes. We were using 1 desktop computer and 2 wireless laptops and the systems did not lose any speed. No problems occured by using different operating systems on different computers (XP and Vista).

Good product for home use
from Phoenix, AZ on 8/6/2008
Belkin provided a reasonably priced product to upgrade my wireless system. My previous system failed and the manufacturer was unable to resolve the problem. I am pleased that the Belkin router was easy to install [...] The lower price was a major decision factor [...]
from Los Angeles, CA on 8/6/2008
This is the first router I have purchased outside of the linksys family...and I could not be happier. I will never go back to the linksys set up - this product was not only way cheaper but it was easier to set up and use than any linksys router I have tried before.

from Los Angeles, CA on 7/23/2008
It was really easy to setup on my home office network. It was easy to set up on my new laptop but the XP desktop did take a little longer. It wouldn't originally install it, but after re-loading the software it worked. I did email Belkin and they never got back to me, so that was not good but the problem solved itself.
from toms river, nj on 7/23/2008
The manual comes on the installation CD, making a secure installation difficult to impossible to do without a call to Belkin's 800 service number in some foreign land. However, with patience on both ends of the call we succeeded and the hold time was not very long.
from So. Burlington, VT on 7/23/2008
My grandson plays games on an XBox. He enjoys the Much greater speed over my previous unit.
from Orange CA on 7/23/2008
I use this product in my home office but a plus is that now I'm able to get the rest of the household on the net without the wires. Looks solid and other than the more involved security steps that need to be taken it worked pretty much right out of the box with minimum set up time. Remember some of it has to do with Windows.
from Columbus, Ohio on 7/9/2008
resonably priced.
from Califon NJ on 6/26/2008
I had a configuration problem from my previous system, and the tech support from Belkin was excellent in helping to resolve the issue. It has worked fine since. Highly recommended.
from Augusta Ga on 6/25/2008
Was easy to set up and get running, I had problems connecting my wireless printer but that was the printer not the router. So far I have not had to reboot everything - like I was having to do weekly with my NetGear.

is ok
from Granbury, Texas on 6/24/2008
We use the router with our personal computer and found that we kept losing our Internet service. After calling Charter & it not being their problem we hooked our Linksy's back up and the problem went away. We tried the Belkin once again and once it was plugged into the Ethernet port our Internet quit. Put the Linsky's back on it and once again all was fine. Port blew out a month after purchasing it. Had a problem trying to return it!

from Waterbury, CT on 6/19/2008
Overall, I'm pleased with the performance. It's a huge difference over the G router I had been using. My only complaint was that I needed to spend an inordinate amount of time with tech support to get it up and running on OS X 10.5.

Good product, average performance. Easy to set up, nothing to write home about, though...
from riverview,fl on 6/19/2008
it is really hard to encrypt with Vista.. too many bugs with vista. MS does not make the network setup easy. works better with XP OS than vista!but router is great and fast!
from Flint MI area on 6/19/2008
Works great once I got it set up. Love light connection symbols versus simple "dot" lights. [...]
from Pleasant Gap, PA on 6/19/2008
Its addition has made it easier for those on our network to "talk" with each other.
from Brookville, IN on 6/19/2008
I use this product with my laptop and love it. I can take my computer anywhere now.
from Michigan on 6/19/2008
I was initially impressed with the speed of this router and how small it is. I use a mac computer and found out (after many hours on help boards trying to find a fix) that it cannot handle streaming media well and ESPECIALLY not the iChat client. I returned it and purchased an Airport Extreme from Apple.
If you're not concerned about iChat or the streaming video stuff, it's actually a really nice router for the price. It was about half the price of the Linksys router and VERY fast.

from McAllen, TX on 6/17/2008
I was able to set this up within 10 minutes. This router works great wired but I could not get it to hold a wireless connection with my laptop wireless G card. I think I rebooted the router and reconfigured my wireless card about 25 times to try and correct the problem but it was no use. I even tried to get a old Belkin USB adapter (802.11b) to recognize the router but this would not work either. I will be returning this for a Linksys model. Beware.
from phoenix, AZ on 6/11/2008
I bought this product and the reason I have no pros other than the size is because I was never able to get it working, [...] the setup instructions are easy to follow but it would help if it worked.
This is utter junk. It was quite easy to set up. However, it continued networking for perhaps 2-3 hours, before requiring a full reset. And that was the first time. Then, I had to do the same thing again.
I wanted to like this device. Belkin makes nice little USB devices and iPod cables, but perhaps routers are out of their league. I hope that the Linksys works better.

from Southeast, GA on 4/15/2008
I bought this router along with the belkin wireless N usb adapter thinking it would be a tremendous upgrade, WRONG! I will be returning both products for the linksys. My old Liksys Wr54GS router has much better range and has been extremely reliable! What was I thinking?
from Corning, NY on 3/11/2008
The set -up instructions were easy to follow and no problems or frustrations at all!!
from Littleton, CO on 3/7/2008
Does a Great Job. Customer / Tech Support is fantastic!
Will buy from Belkin again because I know they provide 100% 27/7 support of their product.
from Atlanta, GA on 3/7/2008
Works well. Great upgrade to 54MPS from my old 11MPS router.

from Wilmington, Del. on 1/21/2008
The instructions on the quick setup sheet were easy to follow and I had no problems with the installation. One trick is that it doesn't give you the option to enable the security on the router via the setup wizard, and I had to go to the manual to figure out how to do that. It took me a few extra minutes, but I was able to configure the security with little difficulty.

I had a Linksys WRT150N that went bad on me, I purchased this belkin with the intention of selling it when I recieved my new one from Linksys. But after insalling it in less than 10 min. it's the Linksys that going to be sold. This Belkin is $50 less and 3 times as fast. The range is great! Anyone want to buy a Linksys wireless N router? From now on i'm going with Belkin!

from Vero Beach, FL on 9/28/2007
I purchased a Belkin N1 Router some months ago and installed it successfully. After a few months I began having problems which were resolved ultimately by discussions with technical support people who barely spoke English. My modem works fine but when I hook it up to the router I have problems with the internet connection. I returned the one I purchased and was sent a replacement but I continue to have the same problem and am not able to use this router. I do not recommend purchase of this product.

After spending two hours with the an incomptent Linksys Customer Service Rep trying to trouble shoot my reoccuring router problems, I decided to cut my losses and purchase a new router. I love the BELKIN Router. 10X faster, more reliable, and [...] far superior. I will never purchase another LINKSYS product again.

If you don't use the system for a long period of time both the modem and the router have to be shut down and restarted in order for the wireless connection to work again.
