Belkin Wireless G review

By fred  Aug 1, 2006 | 3 out of 3 found this Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4 review helpful

Pros: Easy to install, good range

Cons: Unreliable

I had no trouble installing it and porting the settings from my older router from another brand. The range is good and it worked well for the first few months. Now I get disconnected at least once per day and must constantly power cycle it to get rec...onnected. Read more Less

Empty Claims

Pros: None

Cons: Many

This my personal experience only: bought this or one like it with a promise of a rebate. The rebate never came through. Currently after about 7 months of use the last 3 months have been full of disconnections on the network level and internet level, ...incorrect timing of scheduling functions, and it is user interface mediocre. I am in the process of buying a new router now. I don't even want this one replaced by Belkin (anyway who knows it may or may not be covered by their claimed warranty). ... Read more Less

Good price and good value

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 21, 2009

Pros: easy set up/ 4 extra ports

Cons: None yet

I read some negative reviews so I was leary when I first bought it. It took me two tries to download the Belkin and hook up to the internet. The final solution when it would not hook up to the net was to unplug the modem for 10 seconds (the power cor...d and then replug it back in) and I was online. I have a small home and so far the wirless connection has been fine. I also have other computers and they are wired so easy to use the other 4 orts. For the cost I am happy with my Belkin.

So Sucks

By Peanut  Aug 17, 2008

Pros: You have internet

Cons: disconnects all the time

I have bought this wireless router and it was fine for a while but it is always disconnecting me when the phone rings or just whenever it feels. At first I didnt have any problems but it has been about three months of nothing but issues.

It won't work. it is as simple as that. I bought it for my ps3 and wii, but as soon as I get it hooked up, my internet on the computer will not work, but the internet on the wii and ps3 WILL work. I have read over and over each and every instucti...on to see what I am doing wrong, but I don't get it. Read more Less

Awful waste of money

By StefanieN  Nov 30, 2007

Pros: Easy to set up

Cons: Didn't work correctly

My husband and I decided to invest in a couple of laptops since we are both full time students and we were tired of fighting over the desktop. The laptop shopping itself was time consuming, and on our way out we realized we needed a wireless router. ...As I was reading the boxes, hubby rushed me to pick something as he was late for a meeting, so I grabbed this one (incidentally the cheapest one...you get what you pay for). It has NEVER worked correctly. Since the day we got it, it has constantly disconnected, rarely staying connected for as little as five minutes--we've had it two weeks. Today we went to Best Buy where someone suggested we just try to get a new cable since often times routers come with bad ones. We tried that full of hope that our problem would be solved--nope. We returned shortly after to purchase a Linksys. For the first time since owning my laptop, I have been connected for 3 HOURS. That should tell you how badly my Belkin worked--I'm excited over 3 HOURS of internet connection. Read more Less

Good for the price

By Mochamami  Sep 15, 2007

Pros: Very easy to set up

Cons: Requires CD Rom

I like this router simply because it does what I want it to do. A router in my book does not have to be fancy or expensive to allow for a great high speed connection. I paid maybe 40 bucks for it and it works wonderfully. I had to call the 1-800 numb...er to set it up b/c the main pc that we use for the cable connection does not have a cd-rom. The tech guy was very helpful and I was set up in minutes. Read more Less
