Yes - No ( Report Problem ) Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router, April 30, 2007 Reviewer: ironcrossbmx - See all ironcrossbmx's reviews Overall: Compatibility: Durability: Ease of Use: Features: Quality: Support: Value: Pros: Great range/Value/Compatibility/Ease of use Cons: Sometimes glitchy and does not like interference The Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router was a great choice for my needs. I wanted a router less than the $150 dollar models, but with speed that would not hamper the needs of a gamer. from Yahoo.com I bought this item about a year ago to replace the old wireless G router I had (slow slow slow!). There weren't too many N routers out yet but I wanted something that wouldn't be totally obsolete and would provide a better signal. from Amazon.com The Linksys finally gave out after two years of use. I purchased this router to replace the Linksys and have never looked back. I will always buy Belkin from now on. Not only has it lasted over two years but I have never been disconnected from the internet. from Amazon.com I bought this router about 2 1/2 years ago, and immediately found the router-based parental control feature one of the best features offered. This worked great for over a year, but then suddenly by mistyping a URL I find that the parental control is gone! After calls to Belkin, a web search and a call to Blue Coat (former supplier of the web-based portion of the Belkin parental control), I find that it was indeed discontinued several months before, with absolutely no warning (the HAD my email address for the account registration). As was mentioned in the other review, their replacement for it is Zone Alarm, which is PC based, and not nearly as useful or flexible as the original product. from Amazon.com Works really well, I don't know if the actual N router would be any faster because I have yet to try it, but this pre N works great from Amazon.com This is my second Belkin Pre-n router. Product was fantastic on the first one and support was too. from Amazon.com First off, there is no cards slot for the iMac. My bad for not checking, but the product was touted as compatable with Apples. But for my PC, this and the Belkin Pre-N notebook cards I got, would not set up, ever. I'm not a computer guy, but I'm no dummy and I could not set this thing up. from Amazon.com This router performed well, pushing our wireless reach to corners of the house our Internet signal could not otherwise reach. However, after about a year of good service, things began to go awry. from Amazon.com This router refuses to work regularly. Works great when it does but then, for no reason at all, my wireless will conk out and refuse to reconnect. It's not a range problem because I'll have a full signal when it does work. from Amazon.com I had this router for almost a year. I would have to reboot it every day (or two) as it would stop connecting to the laptops we have. Belkin Tech support said there was nothing wrong and I should just reset to factory specs and try again. The other common thing they said was to change channels. from Amazon.com
