Pros: -stable -fast with quad-core 4.2 GHz FX CPU -Really looks cool -good bang for the buck -seem well made -easy setup

Cons: none

Overall Review: I had previously written a bad review talking about a problem with a sound card conflict with the graphics card. Turned out it was a driver issue with the ASUS R7 370. I was going to AMD's site and getting the drivers. I guess the newer drivers have bugs and I found that the older Catalyst software works flawlessly. The Crimson software keeps locking up on YouTube and other similar video sites. Once I found this out, this motherboard has worked flawlessly. This build is the system I've been dreaming about.

Pros: none

Cons: Junk for the money

Overall Review: I don't have this exact box but I have a previous NAS with cloud option from WD that had two 2TB in mirror RAID that has the same processor. An 800 MHz processor is not fast enough for a NAS in any household or office that has multiple devices streaming media from it. You need a NAS with at least a dual core and 1 GHz or better is what I recommend. Also if you are going to use it for cloud use, leaving it on while 24/7 for cloud use while you are on the the road you want something with a fan cooling system to protect your HD from overheating.

Pros: none

Cons: I built two systems for Christmas. I had actually started one and bought the parts and switched them back and forth between the one that was mine and the one that was a gift. This processor along with memory for my build and a graphic card for my sons build were the last three items I bought for the basic system. Everything seemed to work great at first and a week later my system kept getting error codes. I tried doing a reboot and it started doing codes while I was trying to reinstall windows. I figured it was the motherboard. I got a new motherboard and it seemed OK. I got an R9 390 graphic card and it started acting up rebooting, shutting down, error codes so I took it back to the box store I got it from and got a R7 370 from ASUS. I also added two more 120 GB SSD drives to my RAID array on my boot drive moved the media drives to external cases and at first, all was good for a few days. I then started having error codes or crash on startup. I had just changed the hard drives and figured that was the problem. So fooled around with them and it stopped so I thought all was good. I went to bed last night, everything had been working good all day, get up today turn the computer on and crash after crash. It would sometimes open then freeze or crash. When it gave a reason they varied from Critical Process Died to various others. The only thing I hadn't changed while this was going on was the CPU. I just took the 3.8 GHz CPU out of my son's computer and put in this one and so far it is working fine. Too late to return to New Egg as it was bought back in December so I am out of $90. This is the first time in over 18 years I have ever had a problem with an AMD processor. That was why they were my brand of choice. They have always been durable, reliable and best bang for the buck. Very sad to see that streak come to an end.

Overall Review: It was fast when it worked but I will either be buying the 3.8 like my son's or a 6 or 8 core to replace this.

Pros: Seems fast will update once I get all updates and my system setup.After I posted my other review my wife and on wentout toa friends house. I came back home and everything came together in my mind and it all seemed to fall into place.

Cons: Still deducting 2 eggs because there was nothing included except for the drive really, no direction, nothing. Two times my BIOS changed without reason to original settings but now that I formatted my old drive it seems to be behaving better.

Overall Review: Found drivers online, just download and uncompress them to a flash drive. Got the drive turned on in my BIOS and installed driver during windows installation. Everything seems fast. I had to take out one of my video cards in order to have a 4x PCIe but it mat be worth it. Not sure I ever needed the crossfire to begin with, really noticed little difference with being in 1080p

Pros: This will be taking some things to extremes for durability. I am putting everything external besides RAM and on its own power supply.

Cons: AT-5570 SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Edimax EW-7822UAC Wireless AC1200 Dual-band USB 3.0 Adapter Logitech K400 HTPC keyboard Thermaltake Silver River 5G ST0024Z Aluminum 2.5 G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 Rosewill RHB-630 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub Rosewill RRC-126 Windows Media remote SiliconDust HDHomeRun PRIME

Overall Review: As far as the SiliconDust HDHomeRun PRIME not sure which computer it will be hooked to as I do have a full blast htpc/game system in my house. I also have 6 TB of network storage along with over 100 GB of cloud storage, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Red Box Instant and A**zon Prime. So I may not even add the HDHomeRun. If I do I will have to get cable TV again but it was just added as an example of taking the system to the fullest capability.

Pros: This router has been great especially for the price. I have owned this router for almost two years. I moved to Washington left my beloved Netgear at my house in Maryland at first had bought another router a D Link that worked flawless but wasn't dual band and once I was setup here I wanted dual band. I saw this cheap at one of the big box stores and bought it. I've had Belkin products in the past. The router I had from them before didn't hold up too well. Actually none of the routers I've had besides the Netgear WNDR3700 which I had purchased when it first came out.have held up good. Note the D Link only got used for a months and is in the closet it worked fine for what it was. The failures were from TrendNet, Linksys and Belkin. Obviously I have had this one for almost two years now and it has worked great. I almost never have to do anything with it and normally when I do a restart it was from the cable modem or DSL modem I was using not the router but I did a complete network restart. I have had great range, I live in an apartment and have multiple devices through the house hooked up wireless and they all connect with a strong signal from anywhere from 5 feet to 30 feet through multiple walls away from the router. I also have two laptops 1 wireless n150 1 wireless g and a table wireless n which get a strong enough signal outside in the courtyard from 60' away with no true noticeable speed drop, they can stream Netflix or from the network drive. After the first Belkin router which didn't even last 6 months this one has pleasant surprised me. The Netgear was better but when I bought the Netgear it was double the price and only a little bit better. I have read some of the reviews and complaints about wireless printing, can't comment on that as I have a Brother wireless printer that doesn't need to use the router as a server.

Cons: I have one complaint about this router and that is the built in media server. Not sure if it works for some but for me if I use it for DLNA it doesn't have the capability to recognize all my files because of its limitations on the amount of files it can recognize. I contacted Belkin and I forget what the exact number was but the media server can only recognize so many files and I have tens of thousands of files on my 2 TB hard drive from family photos, videos to MP3s. This makes the media server useless to me because when trying to navigate through my main TV a 55" Samsung and any of the other DLNA equipment I have from Sony and Panasonic they only pickup part of the files in my family photo folder and none of the video or MP3s can be accessed.. I have found ways around this, my 55" I have a gaming PC so I use it. I'm going to hopefully bypass that issues totally by make a small media server in the near future hopefully SSD prices will drop to where they are affordable to use also.

Overall Review: I can't complain overall. I've learned a lot over the last five years about wireless network setup. My problems with other routers were fatal problems so they weren't from lack of knowledge. Problems I have had since I have had this router besides the media server.were caused by two of the USB wireless adapters I have had both were Linksys and I will be staying away from their products from now on. They both had frequent over heating problems even with modifications. (removing their cases) When I replaced the adapters any of the problems I was having vanished. I read reviews on here about this router having speed or distance problems and because of my experience with it I have to wonder if it isn't the wireless device on the other end and these people just don't realize it. My wife's laptop has had issues not just here but other places so I bought a USB wireless N adapter and now she never has any problems. I have had no connection problems with my network for almost a year after replacing my troubled wireless adapters. I rated this 4 eggs taking away one egg for the media server. I have put a lot of praise on this device because that has been my experience with it for the nearly two years I have owned it. My next router probably will be another Belkin which I wouldn't have thought that when I bought this one.
