1 out of 5 stars Pictured Router is NOT the F5D7231-4.......2007-12-23

I bought this for a gift for my daughter thinking that it was the same router I already own (the one actually shown in the product page picture)I don't know if Belkin has changed the design of these - but beware - be certain you check to ensure you are getting what you think you are. If this does not work as well as mine I will return it.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Router!!! Five Stars!.......2007-12-13



This router is excellent! I previously owned a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router--which was extremely slow, wireless coverage and functionality was patchy, and tech support was horrible. I recently purchased the Belkin Wireless G Plus router and am absolutely satisfied. The Belkin router is extremely fast (its hard to tell you are even wireless!) and very easy to install (I installed with no problems and didn't even have to use the easy install disc). I am 100% satisfied with this router and will remain a Belkin customer for years to come. I give this router 5 Stars. I highly recommend this router!

1 out of 5 stars Don't bother.......2007-12-13

I have bought two of these, within a short amount of time for each other. I bought the first one, because my Linksys wireless kept rebooting whenever the wind blew. The only good thing that I have to say, is that it has been stable. I have not had it randomly reboot.
Other then that, the product and the customer support is horrible. First off, of the two that I bought, they are both different versions (Not printed on the product box) and they both have different features. My older one supports wireless bridging, which is why I bought the second one, which doesn't. NO problem I will just upgrade the firmware.
The Belkin website has a different picture for the F5D7231-4 then what I have. Then I download the patch for update (maybe it is just a faulty picture posting I think) only to have that fail every time. And a quick search pulls up plenty of other people trying to get there firmware updated also to the same effect.
That on top of the Belkin class action suit for false advertisement, make me want to toss these routers out the window and start again. This model has officially been downgraded from router to untrusted access points in my network.

4 out of 5 stars Belkin Router.......2007-12-01

Router performs well with 2 notebooks attached. Extra PC's doesn't seem to degrad throughput. Not too hard to set up. Good product overall

1 out of 5 stars IT'S WONDERFUL!.......2007-10-29

I bought the Belkin to replace a Netgear 834, which would work on somedays and not on others. After resetting the Netgear by holding it upside down and pressing the reset button, I said, "Enough!" and ordered the Belkin. Setup is So Simple: Insert CD, plug in router, switch cables, install the security code, and BAM, it works. No Unplugging the modem, counting to 120, plug in router etc etc. Accessing Belkin's website was a breeze, not "the login may work if you say pretty please" Netgear ordeal.
I get four bars in a distant bedroom that has three thick adobe walls from the where the Belkin is. It's truly a wonderful device.

    4 out of 5 stars Standard simple wireless router.......2007-12-23

    Used the supplied software with my Mac, set up was easy. I get good signal strength throughout my house without dropout.
    Not really much else to say-it's a wireless router, it works.

    1 out of 5 stars The worst router i've ever had.......2007-12-07

    I am a tech savvy teenager who has been setting up routers for years. Now, after 4 years of service, my Linksys router craps out on me. I go and spend the money on this thing. What a joke! The router randomly decides when it wants to connect to the internet and simply rebooting the router resets ALL of my settings. DO NOT BUY THIS or any other belkin G router. I have not tested their N routers.

    Also, if I try to restore my saved settings it fails with no error message and blocks me from the admin interface.

    5 out of 5 stars router for the macintosh........2007-07-20

    i am very happy with this router. i previously had a linksys router which, because my computer is a macintosh, was a nightmare to set up. belkin's cd worked with the mac and gave good instructions. their manual was also in a form that i could download and open up on my mac. i was able to hook everything up with no problem.

    3 out of 5 stars Had to return it.......2007-06-22

    I had to return this after trying it out for a couple of weeks. The up-time was good, better in fact than a Linksys one I was trying to replace with it. The range was acceptable but not stellar. The aspect that drove me nuts was the Web-based UI. I've tried several of these by Netgear and Linksys without complaint. But with the Belkin one, if I was accessing it while wireless, each change would force a reboot to the router, making the idea of a Web UI a joke:
    - I would edit the option and click save
    - The "edit" page would post to the "action" page
    - The router would reboot, thereby dropping my wireless connection
    - The admin interface would time out and show a "page cannot be displayed" error
    - I'd go back to the root and have to login and start the process all over again

    Now imagine trying to enter a list of allowed Mac IDs greater than one and realize you can only add them one at a time, each requiring a reboot (I maintain a list of ~8 allowed addresses). I was going quietly nuts. I ended up spending $20 more for the Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (WPN824). So far, so good.

    5 out of 5 stars Not sure why others have problems.......2007-05-30

    I've been using this router for more that two weeks now, and I stream video, audio, network, etc., without drops or loss between one wired computer and two wireless using the MIMO usb adapter 9050. It solved may connectivity problems that plagued us over several months. The router itself is upstairs and the two wireless computers are down stairs. Huge thumbs up from me.
