This review is from: Belkin Wireless Surf Router (F7D2301) (Personal Computers) Scratch my original review: What every other reviewer is saying is true. Horrible connection, constantly dropping connections...this thing sucks. Going to one of the big box stores to buy a D-Link (which I've never had problems with). Thanks belkin for putting out crap!
I had actually originally ordered the Belkin Wireless Play Router (F7D4302). After rereading the differences, I figured I could live without the extra "apps" and the USB port. I'm sure I made the correct choice at this point! First about the physical aspects of the router: When I opened the box I was really surprised. The cables are plugged into the router where they should be already. That might not seem like much, but to explain this to my father on the phone for when his shows up, it will be a snap.

Sorry that I bought this from Best Buy. My old G router worked just as well and had more signal strength and a better antennae. I got this to upgrade my old G that was having problems. I use it to stream netflix movies to my home theater. This router is less than 40 feet away on the same floor of an open living space... and doesn't have enough signal to stream movies without hangups and constant re buffering. If I take my Bluray player that this talks to, out of the TV cabinet and point it in almost direct line of site.. than it will work... If you plan on using this to connect PC's etc in other rooms separated by walls, don't bother with this router. I have to return it and invest in something better. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Belkin Wireless Surf Router (F7D2301) (Personal Computers) Best cheap router I have bought! Ok is not the fastest but I have 2 story houes & have no connection issues. Running 3 desktops, 4 to 5 laptops & XBox 360. I bought this one while traveling, when Hotel we were staying at wireless did not work (but their wired was fine) being we had 3 laptops trying to use I went to BB & found this one for $29.95. It was fast/easy & worked great. I have now added it to my home wireless group & other then not being blazing fast, it has worked great for 6 months. I have Comcast's fastest internet offered in my erea & speednet has my main computer at over 20mb. I also have a Netgear "N" wireless AP at other end of house for my boys. I have no complaints, as has excceded my expectations for a sub $30 router. |
