The setup was probably about half-an hour if you're overly-thorough like me with wanting to check everything out. After the initial setup, the 'rents have not had a bit of trouble connecting wirelessly. I noticed another review (and a comment) mention not being able to make changes to the settings. I didn't experience any of their woes. However, I do remember logging in to the router not being very intuitive and I wonder if that could be causing the issues. I was able to change the default SSID, login password for the router, and setup WPA easily. I set everything up by connecting my laptop directly with an ethernet cord and going to the router's IP address. I didn't use the included software, so I have no idea how well that works. As far as speed goes, I can't tell a difference between this cheapy router and my nice expensive one at home. My parents are only using it for browsing/email, and since they just...Read more 29 of 30 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Belkin Wireless G 4-Port Router (Personal Computers) Just purchased this modem from Wal-Mart for $29 (+tax). After reading the reviews here, I decided to try it out myself. Used the Non-routable IP address (192.168.2.1) to configure the router (since others here had suggested it), used the wired connection first. Then had the wireless up and running. Took about 15-20 minutes. Like any G router, the range is limited, but serves my purpose. Video streaming is excellent. Using WPA for Wireless Security. Was able to change the SSID (problem mentioned by another reviewer). Wired and Wireless working fine so far. Will update if things go bad or SSID disappears (mentioned by another reviewer).
Wired setup, is a breeze...just plug and play...after configuring the LAN using IP address. The wireless setup is a bit more challenging...for a non-tech savy person like me, but after some trial and error things are sorted out. Overall, very pleased with the buy. Excellent coverage. Ease of setup is the...Read more 47 of 53 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Belkin Wireless G 4-Port Router (Personal Computers) I have been setting up both personal and business networks since 1999, using the same settings on many brands of routers. This Belkin is the most frustrating device I've come across. Not because it's completely bad, but because on the surface it appears to be working just fine, but then your Internet goes down. Fortunately, I was able to reproduce the problem. Belkin's phone support was friendly and wanted to help, but they were completely unaware of the issues I found. That tells me there is something seriously wrong with their quality assurance program as a company.
This hardware has convinced me to never buy Belkin again. It's actually quite easy to set up, similar to every other router on the market. You can either use the install disk, or use your web browser to connect directly to the device. I used the web administrative interface. Once set up, it goes through the normal motions of connecting to your ISP to get its settings and...Read more |
