Spotty with the original firmware
- Pros: The range is awesome my aunts place is a 3 story townhouse and i am getting 100% signal everywhere.
The blue lights are somewhat useful but are just for show.
*see other thoughts
- Cons: The original firmware is horrid drops the connection a lot and the browser interface took forever to get settings to apply. Went to the UK version of belikn's website and downloaded the draft 2.0 spec beta drivers every thing works great now.
- Other Thoughts: I was at my aunts (taking some classes staying with her for a bit) and being the nerd i am I notice she had a new router. After asking for this one as i have an old g router at home and the signal barely gets to my room and hoping for an improvement. Plugged it in and the symptoms the reviews and what my aunt and cousin stated showed itself. After the update it works perfectly even gave it a high load test constantly downloading things at 1800 kbps/1.8mbps and uploading at 500 kbps for a few days and now it is rock solid, and exhibits none of its previous symptoms. My version is the v3000 to those having trouble try the beta firmware.
May be a con but my aunt while happy i got it working, must feel a little miffed at dropping over a hundred on her new net-gear. Especially since it only took my 5 minutes to fix.
Just awesome
- Pros: Better range by far than my D-Link, open NAT, intuitive browser-based config, great design, completely reliable.
- Cons: I wish the indicator icons had brightness settings. My PC room looks like a Blue Man Group concert with the room lights off.
Bad, Bad Belkin
- Pros: Pretty.
- Cons: Not nearly as functional as it looks. Has limited firmware, not many features. Wireless drops outs requiring resets. Range is subpar, worse than your average G router. Lights are way to bright and attention-grabbing. The illuminated icons, bright blue lights and feature set make it obvious that this is nothing more than eye candy for the less than savvy consumer. Save your money- this thing is a joke.
- Other Thoughts: "N" is still in draft, which means the technology is NOT YET FINALIZED. Stick with the classics, go G, maybe even a WRT54G (early rev). Possibly the best router on the market for the money.
