Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing Comment: Purchased a Belkin wireless G cable router direct from my ISP, NTL approx 18 months ago. Setup did not go according to plan and had to seek telephone help to sort out making connection secure, but after this initial problem, all seemed OK. Then in March 2008 the router died on me. I contacted Belkin support, and after the 3rd phone call managed to get someone who could speak English clear enough for me to explain the problem and subsiquently organise a replacement unit. The new unit arrived within 5 days and was up and running in an hour or so. Then in August 2008, it started dropping the Internet connection on both the hard wired PC and the wireless laptop, as experienced by other reviewees. Several calls to Belkin resulted in me being talked through a firmware update, which in all honesty solved the problem on the hard wired PC but am experiencing issues when connecting wireless. Again several calls to Belkin, again struggling to follow instructions because of language barriers, has resulted in the laptop now connecting but not holding connection for any length of time. I am currently playing around with settings myself to see what happens as I cannot take the stress of the Belkin Indian call centres. Save yourselves a load of bother and choose a different make of router. Customer Rating: Summary: Weak Signals reduced internet speed Comment: Belkin Wireless Cable G Router 54Mbps + 4 Port 10/100 Switch I am not satisfied with the wireless reception with this wireless router. when i use internet through this device it weakens internet signals and reduce the internet speed. I am not overall satisfied with its wireless performance. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Product for Technophobes Comment: I didn't have a clue about WPA/WEP. I didn't even know that if you have cable broadband that you have to use a different type of wireless router (as opposed to BT broadband). I was with Virgin Media for broadband and bought the Belkin wireless G Router about 6 months ago. I bought a different one initially (not meant for cable broadband) and got pretty stressed when it failed to connect. Simple to set up following instructions on the CD rom. Took me about 20mins straight out of the box to set up and get a signal on my laptop. If you get the installation wrong just do the hard reset by pushing a small button at the back with a straightened wire paper clip. I also bought a netgear Wifi receiver and it was easy to connect to my now aging PC, picked up the wireless signal straightaway. I will be selling my Belkin wireless G router as moved house recently to a non cable area. This is a good, simple, no nonsense cable wifi router. Customer Rating: Summary: Almost flawless Comment: I bought this about 10 months ago for our Virgin cable connection, and so far it has not let me down. Occasionally we are forced to reboot it, but these are very very rare. I've once left the router on for a week and the connection was interrupted. Unlike some here, the router has never exhibited heating problems. I guess I am just lucky. It took us a couple of minutes to install and were soon browsing the web wirelessly. Even updating the firmware was a seamless process. The configurations are clearly laid out in plain English and allowed me to tinker advance settings, for example filtering out users based on MAC addresses, and opening ports for P2P usage. My PDA, Nokia smartphone, laptops (both XP and Vista) and gaming consoles (PSP, DS, Wii) were capable of connecting to it everytime. I was told after I bought this that I would regret doing so, but 10 months later I am still a happy camper. On the other hand my wise friend who insisted on buying a Linksys router had experienced problems after problems even after exchanging it and attempting to update the firmware! Customer Rating: Summary: Do not Buy! Comment: This product takes too long to set up, when we recieved it it didnt send out WIRELESS signals until we had to ring Belkin which also took around 3 hours. When we got the connection running, we began to have problems such as the internet keeps cutting off when on the computer. My son plays his Xbox 360 Wirelesly through the router, and it cannot keep up with the connection speed needed to play Xbox live games without connection problems. This product has just led to endless phone calls to try to sort it out. Don't bother buying this, its a waste of time and money! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: The Belkin 802.11g Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router lets users share files and a broadband Internet connection among their computers-without using networking cables. It features 802.11g technology that makes accessing files and networked peripherals-such as hard drives, printers, CD-ROMs, and DVDs-easier than ever. 802.11g technology provides you with networking speeds nearly five times faster than the current Wi-Fi (802.11b) standard. An integrated, 4-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch also allows you to connect wired computers to the network. 802.11g technology is the easiest wireless network to implement. The Gateway Router uses the wireless 802.11g 2.4GHz standard to offer you the widest working range-upto 1500 feet-and greater interoperability in mixed networking environments.802.11g technology is backward compatible with the 802.11b Wi-Fi networking standard, so it allows you to implement faster wireless technologies in combination with existing 802.11b Wi-Fi networks. An added Turbo Mode will isolate your network from 802.11b wireless clients and allow your network to transmit data at the highest 802.11g data rate.
