 Great Router July 13, 2006

great router, much better than dlink, better than netgear and linksys. i used to have belkin 54g wireless router, but due to setup restriction i wasnt getting full signal with it in my room upstairs on the 2nd floor. upgraded from 54g to mimo and now i am getting almost 100% signal strength on the top floor. make sure you match it up with a mimo lan card to get the max strangth. i used this router with a 802.11b lan card and still got about 90% signal strength on the top floor. the setup is very easy and straight forward. much hassle free than netgear. it took me hours (literelly) to setup the netgear 108 router for her and still it was acting, where as it took me about 10 minutes to set up this belkin mimo. good job and product belkin. oh yeah dont forget, belkin has lifetime support and warranty. might come in handy in the long run. netgear and linksys has only 3 years i believe.
Works FLAWLESSLY, but only after a firmware update... October 21, 2009

This router does not come with the proper firmware installed! However, with just a few steps and some patience, this router becomes an absolute BEAST, even without tomato flashing.
I see a lot of complaints about this router from users complaining about constantly dropped connections, which in turn is detrimental for gaming. I found this to be true even after successfully portforwarding for all my games, and was VERY CLOSE to returning it to the store to pick up a Linksys, but after reading many forums online, I found the solution:
YOU NEED TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE FROM BELKIN'S MAIN WEBSITE.
The version bought at Walmart is F5D9230-4 v5000. The firmware (updated in 2008) brings the firmware from v5000 to v5111.
1. Install the router as instructed within the box/manual.
2. Download the firmware from Belkin and install it to the router as instructed from the Belkin site.
3. Click the "DNS" tab on the left-hand side and click "Clone Mac Address"
4. Turn off the router after everything successfully installs, do a hard reset on your ISP's dsl/cable modem, wait 60 seconds, and turn the modem back on.
5. Turn the router back on (plug the power cord back in) and wait 15 seconds, then restart your computer.
6. Check the router config (192.168.2.1 in your browser) to see if the version has been updated to v5111. Try your games now, and you will be amazed at how awesome this router is!
I went from a D-Link and a Linksys WRT54GS2, and this Belkin F5D9230-4 (v5111!!!) outclasses both of them in speed and stability. It has been over 5 days without a single disconnection, and speedtests confirm that my download speed is at 23.31mb/s and upload is 6.09mb/s!!!

3 minutes to full operation July 2, 2008

After experiencing 2 hours of D-Link wireless router set up frustration making me yearn for something fun- say root canal or colonoscopy,Belkin came to the rescue in three minutes. My D-Link wireless router set up went like this:three reboots,2 support calls- with dozens of manual clicks,selections,and entry steps to follow,and one software update download.In the end I was informed it was a malfunctioning unit as shipped from the factory. Return it for another one was the advice. No thanks. Belkin has a lifetime warranty versus D-Links one year- a tell tale sign. My Belkin Wireless G plus Mimo set up was so easy it was all done in 3 minutes. Just follow the printed pictoral instruction and the CD guide. D-Link -2 hours to diagnose failure, Belkin 3 minutes to achieve painless success! Thanks Belkin-this is how technology is supposed to work.
Does the job! August 6, 2009

I use this router currently and have had no problems with it. Setup was easy and I have plenty of coverage throughout my entire home.
The CD that comes with it, provides an easy setup (tells you what to plug in where and when as well). It took no more than 1 hour to have access on 5 different pcs (1 desktop, 3 laptops, and a mac).
good and cheap G router August 10, 2009
S. Ye (USA)
today, i just got a used one from frys, which costs around 20 dollars. setting up this router is easy and everything works promptly. this is a G router and the wireless speed is good for normal web browsing use, and i updated firmware v3...
no drop out internet connection at this time. the cost and benefit of this belkin router is great!
