Customer Rating:      Summary: Belkin N1 Vision Comment: Easy enough setup, everything works fine out of the box EXCEPT the display more of which later.
Firstly WIFI - Excellent range - increased the range of my previous Pre-N router twice over!.
Secondly the display - Screens 2 and 3 don't work - Having problems trying to get it to show any download or upload speeds.
Thirdly - Tech Support - Belkin have allot to answer for.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Belkin N1 Vision Comment: I have had this router for the past 2 weeks and below are my observations as compared to my previous DG834g router.
(after installing it, I upgraded to the new firmware 1.00.11)
+ve
- it looks stylish
- the front display is useful for quick information
- the guest ssid is a great idea
- i use it with a G card and the range / signal has improved as compared with my old Netger DG834g.
- over all some good features.
-ve
- the odd stand makes it VERY difficult to attach / stick it to the wall (as routers are always recommended to be kept at the highest part)
- it does not e-mail security logs
- the front main login page displays ALL your router information (all ip information, ssid, serial #,etc), meaning if you turn on remote management, anyone with your ip address and WITHOUT the password can still see your router configuration?!?!?!
- you can't assign dhcp ip addresses based upon mac address, meaning you need to hard code the ip address on the computer if you want it to retain it.
- some times you can't login to your router with the password, it then requires a reboot to fix that problem.
- its not compatible with firefox as it does not let you login with your password
my verdict...it might be an idea to stick with Netgear.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great product, both the look and usability Comment: OK, a quite comprehensive reply has already been left but if you're like me, you know a little bit about computers and want something simple to set-up and use either through a LAN or wireless then this baby's for you. It really was just a case of plugging in the cables with very little configuring. The wireless set-up was straight forward and I recommend following the whole process to ensure a secure connection, I used a USB key and this allowed me to set-up each wireless device quickly and simply. OK the LCD screen is a bit basic but it's still a million times better looking than any other wireless router. It's been about a month since it's been comnnected and it's faultless. The internet is via cable and connects to one machine and I can access it from any machine on the network.
