Belkin F5D92304 Router

Pros: Easy set up and install. Good range, adequate speed.

Cons: Standard set-up procedures not addressed by manual or web site.

Review: I got this router a few weeks ago to replace a different model that crashed. Having just set-up my previous router, I was familiar with the installation tricks and set-up was much easier this time. This model has good range, holds a signal well. ...

Pros: Simple, basic router with good range. Good price. LED placement and configuration is above average.

Cons: Limited configurability. Some adapters drop connection. Small networks only. Security features limited. No ethernet configurability.

The Bottom Line: If you want plain vanilla go ahead and get it. If you prefer to decide for yourself how to setup you network security, head down the road.

Pros: Low cost - Good wireless range - Easy setup/config

Cons: Wireless drops at least daily if not hourly... requiring several restarts to get it working.

The Bottom Line: Don't waste your time and/or money if you want a reliable, stable wireless router. I do this stuff for a living and this goofy thing is just not acceptable.

Review: We just got broadband. I wanted wireless network access out to my shop. I bought the Belkin F5D9230-4 (G Plus MIMO) because it was advertised to have longer wireless range than other similarly priced routers. I hooked it up and setup all the wireless ...

Pros: Got it for much less than retail at Walmart.

Cons: Too many problems with this router and still doesn't work correctly.

The Bottom Line: Too many issues and the last issue is not able to be resolved.

Review: There were several issues with this router and after fixing each problem another one cropped up, until there was no way to fix the last problem so it's going back after 2 days. Even though using the wireless assistant on the CD, it would not come up. I ...
