Belkin 54g Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router (F5D7230-4)

Pros: Simple to setup, stable, and very compatible with various wireless network cards.
Cons: Included network cable is a joke.

I see a lot of people setting up wireless networks at home. Quite literally; well maybe not the people, but I do see their networks. In fact, wherever I travel I am grateful to the wide-open connections they leave me to get on-line. Nothing better than ...

Pros: - easy setup
- offers latest security
- range is excellent
Cons: - network cable provided is kinda short
- the signal fluctuated a little

I bought this at CompUSA because it's a 802.11g router and after mail-in rebates, it would only be about $10 out of pocket. I set it up in the basement of my house (which has the main floor and a second floor) because that's where my current PC is. ...

Pros: Easy installation through the wizards; good price; nice firewall, security features and operating range.
Cons: None so far

I was about to move from a small apartment to a larger house so I wanted easy connectivity for my growing home network (two desktop PCs I assembled myself and my new HP Pavilion laptop.) One day I found the wireless gear I needed on sale and it happened ...

Pros: Always on sale & has rebates making it cheaper & easy to setup
Cons: None

When you think of wireless or wired routers not many people think of Belkin as a reliable brand. Most choose wireless or wired routers by Netgear, D-Link, Motorola, or Linksys. I have tried many wired routers before & have had good luck with many of ...

Pros: Easy setup. Great deal for the money.
Cons: My version does not work with Azureus (P2P), and tech support was of no help.

I bought this particular Belkin router because it was extremely cheap after rebate and because my previous Netgear router required resetting on a regular basis. After installing it, I was pleasantly surprised that it set up so easily, and that it ...

Pros: Easy set up, Firewall, WEP, Mac compatible, nice design.
Cons: Range

I looked around for an alternative to the Apples Airport Base station. Belkin 54g seemed liked a good alternative. Although I couldn't find any reviews for the Mac side of wireless routers, I was not disappointed. The range could be better though, ...

Pros: Easy setup, strong wireless signal, nice admin interface.
Cons: None. I was very satisfied.

I bought this router because I got a nice rebate for it but also because my current router sucked a fat one. I used to use (until last night) a SMC 7004WVBR which was a very mediocre router. I often got weird quirks with my internet connection which was ...

Pros: OK for starting a simple wireless network
Cons: Difficult to set up in an existing network

It would probably work fine if this is your only router, and you just want to share internet access with wireless computers nearby. However, I encountered some problems trying to integrate this into a home network that already had a wired-only NAT box ...

Pros: cheap
Cons: poor support and misleading marketing

This has got to be my worst buying experience when it comes to computer related products. I bought 2 of these a while back because they were on sale at best buy. The first one works ok, but the back of the box implies that it will do frame bursting so ...

Pros: config page well laid out, reliable, never crashes, pretty!
Cons: wireless network setup slightly confusing

belkin's routers have been known to have issues, so when we initially got this router for our apartment, i was extremeley wary, to say the least. but it blew me away. unlike belkin's routers of the past, this router has yet to crash on me or slow ...

Pros: 802.11G for about $60.
Cons: Lack of instructions for wireless and shotty diagnostics

Setting up wired networks were an ease. Pop in the CD and follow the bouncing ball. No brains or skills required there. The fun came in when I tried using it in a hotel which had wireless access. My laptop is not wireless ready and I forgot my card at ...

Pros: Reliability, Price. Tech support is heads and shoulders over some other router companies.
Cons: A little larger than other routers on the market. But then again, this one works.

I bought this Belkin after having a nightmare of a time trying to get a Netgear router to work. Netgear's technical support was so awful and incompetent (and non-English communicating) that I got frustrated and went to OfficeMax to buy the first router I saw. It was this Belkin, which was also on sale.

After spending approx. 45 minutes setting this product up, it was fully functioning with both of my pc's. I've been using it steady for a couple days and it has yet to drop a connection. Furthemore, when I did call Tech Support to verify that I was doing a couple setup things correctly, they were knowledgeable, attentive, and most importantly, spoke and understood English!!

I'd recommend this product. It is fairly priced, and does exactly what it is supposed. If it is working well, you'll barely notice it is there, and that is the case that I've found.

Pros: None
Cons: Tech Support and Software

I tried using the Easy Install software which it wasn't. When I ran the software it deleted my DNS addresses.
I contacted Belkin "tech support" four different times with four different solutions none of them worked. I had to have the ISP tech come out because one of the Belkin "tech support" persons told me to change my DSL router to bridge mode. This was not correct.
Since the ISP tech came everything seems to be working properly. I can't recommend buying this router because of the terrible "tech support" and faulty software. I'm using XP Pro Service Pack 2.

Pros: Easy setup, pain free firmware upgrades, outstanding range and excellent wireline performance!
Cons: None.

I installed this router for my parents 7 months ago. The signal strength is excellent and I have since purchased it for myself. I purchased the 802.11B version for a friend over a year ago. All three routers are performing flawlessly. After extensive problems with 2 Netgear routers and a bad Netgear 54G router out of the box, I was looking for an alternative. Belkin worked out to be an excellent choice. I recommend it to all my friends, families and customers. Stay away from the inconsistent quality of Netgear and Linksys products. No one from the Internet has been able to get past the firewall on any of the Belkin routers. I am very impressed! Buy the Belkin; you will be glad you did!

Pros: ease of set-up
Cons: none

I have set-up(or repaired) several home networks for friends, family, and myself. Last week I switched ISP's and needed a new router for my home network. I could hardly believe it when I saw the Belkin router was offering a $20 rebate and a $30 rebate which brought my price down to $19.99!! I had it hooked up and running in less than 10 minutes. This router has worked perfectly for 6 computers (5 wireless) within my household. I use 802.11b and 802.11g - the router handles all traffic very well. Operating range is working very good, my house is 3 levels - no problems connecting at all. Speeds are always good.
