Don't waste your money [Posted on 2008-05-31]
Hi got this router thinking nmo was the latest fastest and greatest. But It quit after less than a year of lagging I thought my internet was going down.. Not very fast and just got slower and slower. I replaced it with a linksys G for half of what I paid. Its faster and just goes and goes.
Good ..With some Tweak [Posted on 2008-06-07]
Bought this router since I am moving to a new place. Previous routers are Linksys or 3com. So time to try Belkin. Initial impression, looks are impressing.
Setting up is easy.
There are some problems that I encountered i.e. losing connection, etc, but after research the internet, things can be solved by upgrading the firmware to the latest one.
Now, I am happy with the Belkin N1.
So if you have problem with your Belkin, try this:
1. Upgrade your firmware (Sometimes, you need to get the beta version from Belkin UK - since its not in the USA Belkin website)
2. Make sure your Qos turned off
3. Turn on the Signal to (20+40 hz).
Then it will solve all the Belkin problems.
vpn, voip (SIP device), all works fine after that.
Do I recommend this product? Yup
If you are a beginner and wants to buy this router, ask your friend to help you to upgrade the firmware and setting up.
worthless [Posted on 2008-06-25]
I can't belive i paid 150 bucks for this pile of crap at best buy. The set up was smooth until it came to set up security. Unfortunately if you own a MAC you get punished by their tech department (who barely speak english.) You also apparently have to have a masters degree just to set up any form of security. Who knows you have to go the uk web site to down load the latest firmware just so the damn thing will work at all. finnaly after the third day of gettng no tech support i've decided they can have this pile of crap back. bottom line i will NEVER buy another Belkin product again! To anyone who whishes to buy anything from this company if you own a MAC computer don't do it.
WORST ROUTER EVER - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME [Posted on 2008-07-13]
I have purchased more than 10 routers in the last 10 years - including the Belkin pre-N router which was a pretty good router. I bought the N1 thinking it would be at least as good as the pre-N. Wrong! This thing is a step back into the dark ages. Unreliable connectivity. Horrible range. Poor interface with USB adapter.
All in all, I would steer VERY clear of this router. It is a waste of money and, more importantly, a huge waste of time trying to get it working and then, trying to keep it working. Don't go N unless you have to. And if you have to, look elsewhere for a reliable N router.
Defective [Posted on 2008-07-20]
I spent more than one hour on the phone with customer service including being escallated to a senior tech. The router is defective and has to be shipped to Compton CA. It can't even be dropped off. Router did not look like it was new. Don't trust this seller.
