Belkin N1 Wireless Router Review

by Becky Waring

- In almost every measure besides performance, where it unfortunately hung around the rear of the bunch in our October issue's roundup review, the Belkin N1 is a star. It is head and shoulders above the rest of the products we saw in design and usability, with Apple-like attention to detail in the packaging, manuals, interface, and help files. It also has top-notch features, a lifetime warranty, and excellent support.

User Reviews for Belkin N1 Wireless Router

Reviewed by: asagai

Duration of ownership: 1 Month

Strengths: Display

Weaknesses: OVERHEATS!! Needs a fan to work!

Overall Evaluation: I have worked with MANY networking devices, but this one was one of the trickiest! Out of the box it runs well, but after 2-3 hours of use, it halts! Even when you reboot every device connected to the network, it will still stop working!! After I TOUCHED the box after one of the times it halted, I saw why. The device was as hot as a frying pan. Recommendation, place a small fan near the box and make sure all sides are well ventilated. As far as Belkin is concerned, why was this not tested in REAL WORLD CONDITIONS?

Duration of ownership: 8 Months

Strengths: Give thanks each day for not having to call customer support.

Weaknesses: Getting lost in the shuffle. The device is probably fine; however, you must rate your experience. I got a lemon and customer satisfaction followed suit.

Overall Evaluation: Tremendously horrible experience. I have made 8 phone calls (so far). It was agreed after the 5th that is was a faulty router. They upgraded me; however, I spent 6 hours and 23 minutes on the phone, over 5 days, to get this much satisfaction. They said they would have someone call me back 6 times and they never did. That is sad customer service. I was nothing but polite until the 7th call I made. Oh yeh, and I had to give them my credit card # and pay return shipping for their faulty device. What a great set up. You might want to try a company other than Belkin.
