Forget Broadband -- Get BroadLAN'd! : The Belkin Cable/Router

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: The family network consumer's best choice!
Review: 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,...

Not happy

Date of Review:  May 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: There seem to be better ones on the market.
Review: 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,...

"Help! I'm a cool little switch trapped with mediocre firmware!"

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you need no-frills routing on the cheap - buy it. If you like to tinker - avoid it.
Review: 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.

Watch for compatibility

Date of Review:  Dec 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: Make sure all your components work before you buy. I would like to see some compatibility listings especially when your hardware doesn't work with other major hardware.
Review: 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...

Nice way to share a BB connection

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: Now that you've got broadband, this lets you share it among 4 PC's in a painless manner.
Review: I'm using this with a Comcast cable BB connection.

Got it to be able to share the connection among multiple PC's. Impressed that it came up with no need to change any windows settings at all.

After a few days operation, I noticed...

Setup as easy as the hype

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you need a router for home or small business networks, getting more than one PC on broadband, buy this. It just doesn't get any easier.
Review: 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, but I...

Cheap, but uneven quality control

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2002
The Bottom Line: Because of my infant mortality experience and a strange intermittent problem in a second replacement router, I would not recommend this particular router.
Review: 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...

Easier than I had thought.

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: Why spend extra on fees to have other computers connected to the internet; when you can save by buying a router?
Review: 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...

Belkin the wonder router

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: Need a little work on the firmware but you could do worse and buy a over priced Linksys.
Review: 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...

Help, I've been Routed!!

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: It is secure to use and simple to set up. I also only need 1 IP address for my home network to access my broadband internet connection.
Review: 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...
