BELKIN F5D8236-4 N Wireless Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft 2

Pros: Wired works fine.
Wireless works OK with WEP and WPA(1)

Cons: When using it in WPA2 mode I often get disconnected and connot reconnect no matter what I try. Since WPA2 is reqiured for N speed, I am forced to use WPA which uses the slower 54G.

Pros: It looks serious ... but not to be trusted

Cons: I can't believe I've wasted so much time with this piece. I have had this router for it seems like forever. .. I does randomly disconnect from the internet .. I thought it was my rinky-dink local ISP.. Until I moved. different location different ISP same random disconnects and slow speeds.. granted. It will work fine at times. . which is why I now hate the thing. . it has shown me that it can work .. it just wants to be a jerk and not work all the time .. I'm actually getting mad writing this review because I can't get all the bad memories out. they all start by trying to pay bills and always end with cursing out tech people (sorry to the innocent initial ISP) . .. Furthermore I have tried every setting possible with no success (static IP, port foward, no firewall, etc). .. sorry for the rant.. I do feel better knowing that no one should by this router .(Unless you like no internet and getting mad).

Other Thoughts: I think if belkin would update their firmware and work out the software issues it could be a good product..
... but for now I would like to smash said product with a large rock

Pros: I own this product. It's been rock solid with a good range. Everything I try to connect to it does so at the rated speeds.

Cons: None that I can see except it's $12 more expensive than when I got it.

Other Thoughts: Allowing this router to have the option to deliver b, g and n has worked well for me. I think all but one of my connections is the "n" type otherwise I'd probablly have it solely broadcasting in 802.11n.

I think in the 14 months I've owned it I've only had to reboot it a couple of times and most likely it was the cable company's issue because each time I also rebooted my linksys cable modem - waited for it to do the hand shakes - and then restarted the router with the problem solved.

Pros: I have had this router for about two years. Tried two Dlink Dir-655's both failed, then tried a Netgear WNDR3700 that worked for less than three months and I am back to The Old Faithful Belkin that just does not fail.

Cons: The only time I reset this router is when the Network provider makes a change or has an outage which is seldom. Other than that the router itself never fails.

Other Thoughts: Belkin Router F5D8236-4 v3000 Firmware = F5D8236-4_WW_3.00.02. I have six PC's and various Wireless devices, stream movies all the time and backup to NAS through this router and it just never fails.

Pros: Price

Cons: Everything..............But if I must list, than:
1-Always disconnects from internet
2-Slow speed
3-Randomly stops seeing the modem
4-Loses even Ethernet connection

Other Thoughts: Spend an extra $30 and buy a brand like Linksys or D-link!

Pros: easy set up, put in a half height slot so I cut the bracket in half and worked, no dropouts from a linksys n router and fast fast fast,

Cons: not aware of any

Pros: easy set up, put in a half height slot so I cut the bracket in half and worked, no dropouts from a linksys n router and fast fast fast,

Cons: not aware of any

Pros: Good range, seems to connect easily

Cons: Nothing but trouble.

Other Thoughts: I had used this thing for nearly six months. Internet connections became so poor that I had suspected problems with the ISP. UPNP failed to work properly, making online gaming a nightmare of dropped games and heavy lag. Eventually the reset button began to stick, forcing the router to reset over and over again. Belkin has not updated the firmware in a long time, so there is no relief from the bugs in this router. I replaced this router a week ago and my internet service is 10 times better and much more reliable. Save yourself frustration and headaches and buy a different router.

Pros: Very user friendly with a knowledge base of definitions of terms used to define settings if the user isn't friendly with them.

I currently am using this router in my on campus apartment at college. But have also used it at home, and in the dorm when I lived there. The whole at all of there locations this router has been great.

My roommates love using the wireless in our apartment. They use wireless G while my laptop connects through wireless N and all of use have lightning fast internet...well not soo much because the University has a speed cap on all of there IP addresses. Also have a Xbox connected to it. Works flawlessly.

Love it!

Cons: Ant. on to the router are fragile. Roommate's gf knocked it over and they broke the both hinges... Still holding on and still works though lol.

So just don't let it land top first on the ground.

Pros: It took me to this Newegg page to write the review before I took a hammer and smashed it into pieces.

Cons: Where do I start? Completely inconsistent connections. Won't work at all with my Wireless G card. Throw the dice and pray you get lucky for this to work. I've had bad routers before in the 5+ years I've been using them but this takes the cake.

I set the router up myself using it's 192.168.2.1 configuration page. No amount of tweaking or changing settings improved it's reliability.

Other Thoughts: It connected to my Wireless N desktop at first. After the first 30 mins, the router had developed a split personality where at times it wants to work and others it won't. I dual-boot and have a Wireless G card for my Linux installation. The wireless G card connects but won't transfer at all despite the router being configured for B, G & N support.

I'm very experienced in computer networking; tried static IP, Dynamic, the whole nine yards with no luck.
