This router is quite good on range and reliability, but the firmware is old and does not fully function with Windows 10. Belkin wont be issuing an upgrade. So I would not buy this again
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I purchased this router to replace an old 2-Wire modem/router that was supplied by BT a few years ago and admit it is probably the easiest router I've ever set up. Belkin did a great job on the setup side. I plugged the Belkin in to the ADSL filter supplied which then went in to the phone socket, plugged my computer in the router and installed the supplied CD. The software automatically found two software updates which I downloaded and installed without an issue. The routers administration interface (http://192.168.2.1) also found a firmware update for the device that was painless to update and since I've not had one issue. Finally I connected my main AIO HP Photosmark D5100 by plugging in the USB cable from the printer and the Belkin detected the printer right away and asked if I wanted to connect to it. I tried through my Dell laptop and it worked first time when connected through Wi-Fi. I also have a very old Canon PIXMA MP750 over 10 years old and incredibly it also worked without issue. I didn't believe the hype of this product but for me it worked a charm.Read full review
An excellent router, far better than the one I had to buy from my ISP and a whole lot cheaper too. Quick and easy to set up, ideal if you don't really know what you are doing. The signal strength is sufficient but would have preferred it to be a little more powerful but it does do the job that I bought it for. I would recommend one of these to anyone for a good wireless home network.
I bought this to replace a dead Linksys/Cisco Wag150n, because this one had a near identical spec: MIMO technology and 300mbps. Let's just say I wish I'd got another Linksys. The Belkin router regularly disconnects and needs a reset at least once a day, despite it's self-healing facility.
Works just fine in win 7 in compatibility mode. A little slow due to 10/100 mbit but other than that not at all bad.
