Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router router

...road. I've always trusted Belkin so I went for one of theirs. What's it look like? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Firstly it's a lovely size. You can have it standing upright or lying down flat and it is very sleak. It has indicator lights on the front telling you which ports (computers) are active, what the internet connection is like- strong/weak and if you are in fact connected at all. The case colour is kind of a grey/blue and it looks very nice next ...
...attach? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* You can attach 4 machines or peripherals to it via ethernet cables. How easy is it to set up? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Very! There are step by step instructions to install the router which according to the box will take 3 minutes. Now I'm not sure it was that fast but it was quick and simple. There is a wizard with the router which giudes you through the process. Windows XP also helped. Can I set ...

Review of Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router router

...need. I went for the Belkin 4 port wired router. The unit looks quite attractive, and can stack with other belkin units as it has grooves and ridges to allow this. At first things seemed OK, Installation was pretty quick, and I could browse the internet, chat to friends over IM programs and talk on VoIP. However once I tried to connect to an online game, the problems started. After only a couple of minutes hte router would sudenly close the connection: ...
...I later discovered that the Belkin name was not well received by most of the users who gave advice at ADSL guide. This particular router apparently could not handle the packet load required by modern applications, such as gaming, streaming etc. I exchanged the Belkin for a similar specification and price Linksys router and had no problems. If you just want to answer emails and do a little bit of file sharing or browse the internet then I suppose ...

Review of Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router router

Do not waste your money on this. This manufacturer is ripping people off selling products with known defective design but promising "we're working on it". This router tries to reboot itself every time the signal strength varies. In most cases of self-rebooting, it just fails to reconnect. Yesterday, this piece of junk failed on me some 7 times in just one day. ...

Review of Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router router

Ok we got this for like £50, it was ok at first, no problems. then after a while it begins to stop working often and we think it is the internet, but i plug a direct connection to the modem and i find it works, so the router is the one messing up. It was ok, sending things through the LAN and even playing games. But now we cannot play games through the LAN, but can still send things through it. What annoys me is how unreliable the speed is, it ...
...It says on the box, easy install in 3 minutes. But thats just a big fat lie. If you don't know anything about settings up a network, or anything to do with networking then the whole thing is pretty useless, but luckily i have some knowledge. Wires are a lot of mess when setting up an ethernet network, so go for something Wireless that has a SECURE network. whatever you do just avoid this router it causes more grief than good. another annoying ...

Review of Belkin Cable/DSL Gateway Router router

I got this router now for about 8 weeks and at the beginning was fine but after 2 or 3 weeks starts to loose connection to the net or only works when it wants, to day can be working fine the next I can't connect to the net. Testing direct to the PC( Modem-PC) internet works fine. Not one of the best performance as well, as I've tryed other routers beefore. The only good thing on it it's that if you don't know mutsh of how to install those thing, ...
