This review is from: BELKIN E9K6000 Wireless N600 Dual Band N+ Router
Pros:
When I had 1 roommate, this unit worked flawlessly for the two of us (2 pc's, 2 smartphones).
Cons:
Now I live with 3 other guys, so often we have 3 of 4 computers and 3 or 4 smartphones on it... it drops connections a lot when this is the case. One guy is hardwired in, he gets dropped just as often as the rest of us on wireless.
it drops even more if some people on on 2.4 ghz and some on 5 ghz, so everyone uses the 2.4 only, effictively rendering 5 useless in a high traffic area.
Overall Review:
Each firmware update has improved performance noticeably actually. So Belkin releasing good software (with a lot of frivolous things probably 1 in 100 users actually utilize). This just wasn't powerful enough for 3-4 techy people at a time.
I'd also note, don't bank on the traffic management software.... as with most routers, its just garbage that doesn't really work.
