What customers say about Belkin N600 Dual Band Wireless Router?
Plug and play – simple but effective!,
Im not a tech head by any stretch, so the simplicity was the first thing I liked about this: It did need an update thing doing but so much does these days that thats really not a bother (and I found it a nice simple painless process; nothing like the nightmare I had trying to update the driver for my wireless mouse and keyboard where you have to simultaneously press three buttons, stand on one leg, click “go” look the other way and sing Saturday Night by Whigfield backwards and in French, or anything weird so yup – good)
Its replacing my house-mates old router which really he didnt think needed replacing – his worked, but t’internet in our house was always pretty sluggish even with broadband, so I felt new and shiny must be better than old and dusty…
Once operational, we had full bar strength wireless signals throughout the 3 floors of the house (it being placed in the middle pretty much), and I may be under something of a placebo effect but everything seemed faster too.
Its currently supporting wifi to two PCs, a laptop, 3 games consoles and two smart phones – many running at the same time and nothing lagging (as previously said, Im not a techy, so maybe this is expected – but I was pleased). Love it.
If I have ONE complaint – and this is being ever so picky – its the design. It looks very swish in the picture – monolithic, shiny, stylish: and in the flesh, yes it is a nice looking unit, but its very unstable (although its light, I think the base is too small for the height) and has “BELKIN” tattooed on the flanks in a very non discrete way. Why? I know its a belkin, it says so on the box – so whats with the branding? Ah well – its not as if you cant hide it away, so ultimately this is just me being picky.
Other than that its fantastic; does its job very well and doesnt seem too pricey compared to some other routers, so Id fully recommend it.

|Adequate dual-band wireless router,
Shiny, plastic, very light. Large ‘BELKIN’ printed on both sides. It doesn’t take up much space but it could be knocked over quite easily, particularly by my heat-seeking cat. It needs to be plugged into an ADSL modem/router. It needed an update once I had installed the software that comes with it. The update kept cancelling – perhaps it wasn’t relevant to OS X. It’s fairly easy to set up and it works. It will improve the Broadband speed of 5 GHz devices close by, leaving the other devices such as phones and mp3 players to work on the 2.4 GHz bandwidth at a slower rate.
5 GHz has a limited range and will work best in the same room or floor. Once you move further away, you will get the best performance from the 2.4 GHz band. It has plenty of functions including supporting dynamic DNS, MAC filtering (only allowing specified devices to connect to the network), remote management, eco mode (light dimming and disabling wireless to a schedule) and hiding your network (uncheck ‘Broadcast SSID’ box).
I tested it against a dual-band Apple Airport Extreme base station (admittedly a much more expensive product) and found that the Airport had approximately up to 20% stronger signal strength on both bands when computers were close to the router. The signal strength difference between them decreased the further away from the router the computers were. This can’t be used in wireless bridge mode (i.e. as a network extender or repeater), which is a drawback. I haven’t tried the other facilities because I already have a media streaming system in place. This works as a mid-range dual-band wireless router but it does look and feel cheap for the price and I was not particularly impressed by the signal range or strength.

|Best Wireless Router I’ve used – and I’ve used a few,
Best Wireless Router I’ve used – and I’ve used a few: It was very easy to set up and pick up our Home Network, and worked straight away. Set it up using the desk station directly attached via ethernet, and then all the wireless devices just automatically used this as if there had been no change. Everyone has noticed the difference – with often 3-4 of us on at a time the previous router used to get slow, and sometimes lose signal in my sons bedroom. The PC is in an extension one side of the house, outside of a double-skin old external wall, with my sons bedroom the other side of the house and similarly an extension outside the double-skin wall. There are no such issues using this router – faster and better coverage.
