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?

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.
