Digital camera Review: Bad product with even worse customer service
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me preface this by saying I have never felt the need to write a review before, but the amount of stress and suffering this router has caused me has driven me to share my opinion with the world.
Aside from providing an unreasonably slow connection, the customer service is outrageously bad, which is surprising considering how much practice they must get. When I first ordered the router, they flat out didn't send it. After hours on the phone and continuously being sent to the tech department (as opposed to customer service), they finally agreed to actually send the router I regrettably paid thirty-four cash moneys for.
The router worked for about two days before it $*&@ the bed completely. This started a whole new week-long adventure in incredibly rude service and terrible hold music that ended in a $50 hold on my credit card. While I waited a third time for a replacement of one of these terrible things, I sent back the first broken machine (the postage for that is on you, by the way, unless you want to jump through the million hoops of tons of robo-questions and ringing and rude Californians to make them e-mail it to you) and they decided to charge that $50 anyway, maybe just to be consistent.
With all said and done, I payed $34, $50, then $34 (assuming they give me my money back) for a less then-sub-par plastic box that doesn't even have any buttons on it, sometimes works, and seemingly magically eats cell phone minutes and ruins your lunch break from work.
Digital camera Review: Been a mixed feeling!

Well...not much has changed from my transition to B to G. I would say its worth for the money...but i expected more value.Digital camera Review: Belkin
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used many odd Belkin cables and devices. They all have worked very well. Their service is great and prompt with all questions answered promptly. I have the 54g and it works very well. The problems in these reviews comes from people who do not set up thier computers properly. You set your blocks etc. on ones computer. They are not the falt of the device. Happy ComputingDigital camera Review: Belkin 54g Wireless Router: The Future (When it works...)
Summary: 3 Stars
I had just received cable Internet access in my household, and I needed a convienient way to share the connection with the three computers in the house. Ethernet seemed impossible, so I went the wireless way with the Belkin 54g Wireless Router. One major hiccup aside, the router has worked pretty well.Setup was painless. I plugged the cable modem into a designated port on the router, turned on the machine, installed the device and drivers (drivers before device, or the thing will not install easily) for the matching PCI cards on all the computers, and bada-boom, bada-bing! Windows XP immediately recognized the router on all the computers and connected me to the network.
Everything worked flawlessly until about a month ago. The router, all of a sudden, would not connect us to the Internet. We called Belkin, and support was not too good. A two-hour wait and about an hour spent diagnosting the problem. I continued to tell them that the router was probably faulty, but the support staffed denied that a replacement was necessary until after an hour on the phone. They sent us the new router (with the new firmware for the updated 802.11g standard), we called up for an RMA number, and we were set. Router continues to work very well.
One note: look for upgrades at www.belkin.com. I was an "early adopter" of the 802.11g standard, and by the time it was finally an "official standard," new security features had been put in new firmware.
Final verdict: Great product, works excellently, but don't expect great support from Belkin when it is needed.
