Ultimate Router for High Intencity Gaming, 2008-08-09
I bought this and straight away i noticed the difference, this piece of kit is the single most impresive gadget i've ever had the privelidge of using,
and i do use this intesivley, the following things are used and some of these items have all been on at the same time:
X-box360, Ps3, 4xPc 2xLaptops and 3xpsp.
and not once did i lose signal strength on any of them if your like me and want it for it's obvious brute strength then definitly this is the one!!!
also if you want it for high speed surfing/Dload speed then might i recommend getting the usb adapter with this router.
I think it's OK. But beware Belkin laptop cards., 2008-01-26
I bought this router with two Belkin wireless-N cards - one for my PC and one for the laptop. But I just couldn't get it to work. Spent a few hours on 'chat' with Belkin support who went through the usual routine and then advised me to return the router to the shop. I then sent an email to Belkin support. The chat support was very basic though the email support was fast (they even replied on a Saturday) and accurate.
The problem is the drivers on the cards! The router I had was shipping with the latest firmware, but both cards were shipping with drivers from 2006. The reason I hadn't noticed is that each Belkin website around the world seems to have different versions of software. I was looking at the UK site which is still posting old drivers. Belkin support pointed me to their US site which has the latest drivers.
Except for one problem. The driver for the PC card is correct. But the driver for the laptop card is still old! The important thing is a file netmw145.sys. Both cards use this driver. The PC ships with v2.1.4.6 but the laptop software still contains an old version. If you have a laptop then you just need to copy this file from a PC. It resides in the c:\windows\system32\drivers.
The best router so far, 2008-04-19
Just bought this router today and its definately the best router I have ever bought.
I've had countless problems with other routers but this worked perfectly out of the box. Bought it with an N1 wireless card and through some walls I'm getting 130mbps compared to 24mbps which I used to get with my old 108mbps router.
The router looks great, VERY easy to set up. Recommended.
Excellent piece of kit, 2008-05-21
I brought this to set up a home network whilst keeping my original modem. I had it set up and working in just a few minutes with no problems and flawless operation.
If you decide on this router just be aware that you need a modem that used a RJ45 Ethernet cable. Many modems available use USB connectors and these aren't suitable even when using an adaptor.
Probably great, 2008-05-08
Like D. Nunn my connection type isn't compatible with the Belkin Router. My isp is Tiscali, the connection type is PPPoA. Before buying this router all i can say is to make sure that your connection type is compatible; otherwise like me you may spend a large amount of your time scratching your head wondering why no connection is being made and trying Belkin's relatively useless help-line.
