1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT - Unreliable Poorly Designed Product, May 30, 2007

Based on reviews on CNET, I purchased this router for well over $100. It is easily the worst wireless router I have come across. It routinely loses connection which is incredibly annoying if you are using a VPN or making internet phone calls. At first this was caused by my cordless telephone, but after replacing the phone the problem still persisted. (NOTE: I never had problems with interference using my previous router) The BELKIN tech support was completely useless even after the lengthy hold times (in excess of 35 minutes) if you were even luck enough to reach someone. They even have a specific menu option for this problem. When the connection is live, it is fast and has excellent range, but this is far out weighed by the random cutting in and out of the signal. My recommendation it to purchase another device. This is a totally unacceptable level of quality and service given the high price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST Router I Have Ever Used, July 13, 2007

By 

Ralph - See all my reviews

This is the router I have dreamed about! After using (2)D-Link, and Linksys products and experiencing horrible set-up and reliability problems (the last one a D-Link DI-624, which thankfully was fried by a lightning storm), and poor "wired" performance (Linksys WRT54G), this BELKIN (N1 High Perf.)F5D8231-4 is amazing. Very quick set-up with CD if you need it, quick reset of settings for amazing 20/40mhtz speed. Wired 2nd computer, wireless printer, and a wireless laptop(using N1 USB wireless adapter)all work perfectly. The "blue light" panel is amazing too.

This review is from: Belkin Wireless N1 Router Networking- Wireless B B/G N - F5D8231-4 (Electronics)

I had written a detailed screed against this router, but the Belkin won again but failing -- and so erasing -- all text.

This is the second, replaced by Belkin. Not again.
