Belkin (F5D5230-4) Router

Pros: cheap!, fast, easy to setup, a breeze to administer
Cons: can hit bumps in road when updating admin options; cables could be costly

I'm a huge proponent of broadband. If you've got cable TV, you've probably already got all you need except for a broadband modem and a one-time visit from the cable company. But once you get online with the speed and bandwidth of cable access, you'll...

Pros: "Idiot-proof" setup utilities that actually are! Cheap. Easy. I like that.
Cons: Software not compatible with Win2K.

She's good-looking, cheap, easy, and fast.

But I'd still take her home to Mom. The Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router was everything the package promised. Easy setup, fast throughput, and even stylish. I'm happy as a clam,...

Pros: Cheap, works well (when it's working)
Cons: Buggy firmware, Limited port-mapping behavior, Unexplained functions, Crash-prone

Before I begin let it be known I'm writing this review for someone with a moderate knowledge of TCP/IP Networking. If you want to hear me wax poetic about software bundles and how pretty the manual is - sorry you're reading the wrong review.

Pros: Inexpensive, Easy to Use, Easy to Setup
Cons: Manual poorly Written

I have an ATT cable modem broadband connection with 2 computers. I was using a Linksys hub and had 2 IP addresses so that my son and I could surf the Internet at the same time. I didn't like the thought of paying $5.00 month for a second IP address but...

Pros: Piece of cake to integrate
Cons: Strange way to access security log

Belkin's web site lists this router for $119, but I just picked one up this week for only $49.99 (+ S&H) from TigerDirect.com so I don't think I could have made a better choice for the money. I had a fully functional network at home based on Windows...

Pros: Nice looking and takes up little space
Cons: Does not work with Toshiba modems.

I have just purchased an new Dell PC and ordered their router with it. They supply Belkin routers and when I connected my two PC's together (old one running Windows 98 and the new one running Windows 2000 Professional) everything worked. Although the...

Pros: Easy to install. Came up smoothly in default settings.
Cons: Had to update the firmware. Now OK

I'm using this with a Comcast cable BB connection. Got it to be able to share the connection amon ...

Pros: Cheap and easy to setup
Cons: Poorly written instructions

Wow I must say the Belkin router is a great catch. It has a easy setup and is very inexpensive. I would recommend this router to anyone from novice to the most advanced user. You can set this router up in five minutes straight from out of the box. It has...

Pros: cheap
Cons: stops working when more than 3-4 connections are attempted

it stops working when more connections are tried. it is a waste of money. I bought Zyxel, given Belkin back and now I am happy - Zyxel works in stable way, but Belkin needed to be rebooted and computers reseted to get it working - a lot of problems and...

Pros: Very easy setup, cheap, attractive, and a big money saver.
Cons: Looks better in the picture.

The instructions that came with the router talks in detail about setting up a network to allow sharing of broadband. It seemed a lot to do, however, when I had plugged in the cables and turned my computer on, I didn't even have to install the software...

Pros: cheap
Cons: reliability

I have been using the belkin 4 port router for about 1 year now. The first belkin 4 port router that I bought was dead on arrival. I immediately returned it for a replacement. The second one is the one that I have been using for the last year. The router...

Pros: Lights
Cons: Not stable, bad user interface, weird hard to store shape.

I've suffered with this router now for about 6 months. I've by-passed it more than used it for Internet access. It's been a real pain. My Dell lap top (when the Dell works, another post later) does not like it for internet access. For some reason, it...

I have been running this little guy for about a month. Not one glitch or problem thus far. Super easy to set up, took all of about ten minutes. My only complaint it that you have to hide it because it is so ugly to look at.
