This review is from: Belkin N750 Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router (Latest Generation) (Personal Computers)
Let me preface this by saying that I am a very technical user, having been a certified senior network engineer and senior database administrator at various times through my career in I.T. I am very hardware savvy.
For that reason, one would typically assume that I would be the last person to buy this router -- or anything Belkin for that matter -- because it's targeted at the less tech savvy. But you know what, I'm past the days of tweaking and firmware upgrades. DDWRT on Linksys WRT54G? been there done that. I just want my router to work, like a toaster, and to not have to think about it.
Let me be clear, I almost purchased the highly regarded ASUS RT-N56U.. It's only 25 more even, and well reviewed amongst the tech-heads. However, I happened to be at Walmart and saw this one on sale and figured what the heck, considering Walmart's liberal return policy. After 6 weeks, I don't doubt my decision at all.

The Belkin N750
Verdict: Perhaps the best router for the home user
I have owned this router for about 10 days. It replaced a Netgear MIMO-g router that has been serving me for four years, and it is still alive as a backup router. I wanted faster connection speed and an intelligent router that gives priority to my VoIP calls over video streaming or downloads. I picked up the N750 at Costco's to make sure I can return it if it does not work out. So far, so good, but I have already encountered the major cons/limitations, so here is my take on the Belkin N750.
This router connects at the speed advertised and it does not overheat. Belkin's customer service is also one of the best in the router business. You might or might not be able to use the advanced features, but at $99, this router matches or beats the features offered in this price range even without the extras. As I use it for its basic features (including simultaneous dual band), I am happy with it...Read more

Do not get this piece of junk,

This machine has serious configuration issues. Their tech support is a nightmare. They painfully troubleshoot step by step without offering any real solution. The built in self fix feature is a complete joke. I don't have the time or the energy to try to revive/re-config the machine every time the cable service goes out. And I do emphasis on the word TRY because it doesn't really matter how much time I spent with tech support, once the little light on the machine goes amber there's really no hope of reviving it.
