Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4 - wireless router

...and eventually plumped for the Belkin and I am more than happy with my purchase. The Belkin was by far the cheapest router at the time (I paid £50 in 2005) compared to most other models which were on average £20 more expensive for what I could see, was the same functionality. The Belkin also offered free lifetime support which could turn out to be a lifesaver as I have become very dependant on the internet to carry out my day to day duties. --Whats ...
...they were browsing. The Belkin router supports all the major encryption algorithms (WPA and WEP). When creating a security key, I made the mistake of attempting to do this wirelessly. Of course, as soon as I had changed the key on the router, my internet connection was disabled as the key on the router no longer matched the unsecure settings on my device. Luckily I was able to enter the passkey into the software on my device and get my connection ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4 - wireless router

This router is an ideal budget device to share a broadband internet connection between multiple computers. It does not contain a modem of any kind, so it is only suited to NTL or Telewest connections in the UK, as they supply their own modems with network sockets. There may be others I am not aware of, but generally it will not work with any ADSL broadband connections, because the supplied modems generally only have USB connectors, and not network ...

Out of the box it will "just work" with no setup required - the default settings work perfectly OK with NTL or Telewest systems, though you may have to restart your cable modem to get it to recognise the router has been connected. However, what you must realise is ...

I bought this wireless router from PCworld for £49.99 and it was the best money I have spent in a long time. It was easy enough to install - it did take me several attempts but this was because I had previously installed this router using a different modem and at a different address. But once I had restored the default settings then it was click and go. Information boxes pop up on the screen to guide you through exactly what to do, so even the IT ...

I do not have a wireless laptop so in the kit was also the pc card that plugs into my laptop and was just as easy to install with its step by step instructions. I would highly recommend this product to anyone and is great because I can now take my laptop anywhere in the house and still be connected to the internet. The only downside to this is that you need to key code the router and pc card. This makes it ...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4 - wireless router

We bought this wireless router as my son wanted to use his Wii on the internet. His room is on the 3rd floor and the computer and router are on the ground floor. It was simple to set up and the instructions were good, however, because we are using Windows Vista, nothing is ever straight forward. With one longish phone call to India, via the number on the instructions to ring, everything was sorted out. The phone call took 35 minutes for which I ...

I do find that the internet is somewhat slower however he has a great connection on the 3rd floor and we have no complaints. Although the initial set up was frustrating and involved a costly telephone call, it is worth the money and works very well. ...
