This review is from: Belkin Wireless G Plus Router (Personal Computers)

The Belkin High-Speed Wrls. G Router works excellent as a cable modem wireless router, but not as a DSL wireless router. I have DSL, on my office and it doesn't work properly, I cannot expereience high speed internet because the message that shows up on the wireless computer was "Low Connection" no matter where was the router ubicated, I had to buy a Netgear one and was perfect. However I put the Belkin wireless router in my house where I have Cable modem connection and works awesome! The laptops computers works twice as fast and properly when they go online, even from a further distance than the Linksys wireless router I had before without loose the connection. I have discover that the Belkin wireless Router is designed specially for cable modem connection but have technical problems with the DSL Protocols from providing companies, so in clear words, this router is perfect for cable modem connections but a nightmare for DSL.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from Belkin, April 20, 2006

I have a Belkin 54G router and it was working fine until a couple months ago. It started sporadically losing its settings and reverting to factory default settings, i.e., no internet connection. When I would try to restore my saved settings it goes through the restore process as if successful. But, upon reboot it still has the factory default settings which forces me to manually type the PPPoE and security settings in all over again. I have reloaded the firmware, powered it down, rebooted it, and manually reset it to factory defaults all with no improvement in this issue. This has happened about 10 times over the past couple of months. I emailed their tech support twice describing the issue and received a form letter response that took about 4 days and didn't address this issue at all. When I replied and advised them that the form letter was unresponsive to the issue I got a slightly modified form letter back another 4 days later which again wasn't helpful... extremely poor tech support. I like to get to the bottom of things instead of just buying new, but it seems I'm at the end of my rope with this router. I will most likely be buying a Linksys to replace it.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! IT INCLUDES A DETAILED MANUAL..., March 18, 2006

I originally bought the Linksys WRT54GX2 MIMO router. After struggling with the firmware bugs, poor quality, and lack of documentation, I switched to the Belkin HSM router.

The automatic setup had trouble detecting my Internet connection. Fortunately, Belkin ships a detailed manual with its product. It guided me through setting up the modem. I never had to even call the customer support guy in India.

Within about 20 minutes, the router was up and running. I have two wireless and one wired computer on my network. The performance is phenomenal.

If you want headaches, buy the Linksys MIMO. If you want something that works, stick to Belkin.
