  • I just receive this soo great fast love the blue LCD and the clock date month year thats soo cool

    I best router I ever had

  • Don't buy. Bad brand of routers. Can't even connect to my system that's ten feet away

  • Hey, i want to get a router for gameplay, what router do you recommend? Also my internet provider is cox and i wanted to know is it comatable with any router?

    Thanks for your help.

  • I've been using this router since 2008. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ROUTER AS 8011.n doest NOT WORK. I have many PC's and iDevices in the house AND NEVER ONCE has the 8011.n worked on any device! ALSO there have NEVER been any updates to the firmware in all the years I've had it. If I could, I would have returned my router when I had the chance. It's just a plain old 8011.g speed router.

  • N1 vison sucks!

  • i get 1.08 mbps with this router with charter. its very quick... not... i now have a netgear router with comcast. i now get 26.7 mbps !!! YESH!

  • is it me or why is this guy getting advice from someone else when he is selling it this tells me he knows nothing about this router and show me he is talking pure s**t bring on the guy who knows what he is talking about

  • This guy's voice is sooo irritating. FFS CALM DOWN! it's only a router!

  • Rubbish router !!

  • lol 1999 :P

  • THIS ROUTER FUCKING SUCKS

    PLZ DO NOT GET IT FOR YOUR OWN SAKE

    KEEPS DISCONNECTING LIKE A BITCH

  • @Tophawtdog4411 I've had mine for two years now and it works absolutely fine and I can maximize my 100/100 LAN connection.

    So stop whining like a bitch.

  • @zlayphir lol ur the one who started acting like a sore pussy

    i got this wireless router and it was fucking trash, end of story bro

  • @Tophawtdog4411 does it? , i might get this?

  • Belkin make and provide service for all sorts of electronic items, all of it sub-standard. Their infamous g series router caused me alot of problems for the 30 hours that it lasted and the broken English Indian tech support is as equally usless as the entire product range.

    Personally, I wouldn't even use the god damn ethernet cable from this package.

  • Does it also support external hard drive for torrent downloads turning the pc off ?

  • Mac address filtering alone is not secure. You can easily intercept packets and extract the mac address then dummy the mac address to your computer thus granting you entry.

  • dont buy belkin (i had the play max) for PS3 gaming it kept disconnecting and requires constant rebooting go for a netgear, linksys or d-link.

  • If I by this and put it on my room that is far away, can I use it with my ipod? Please response ASP

  • hey_ãnÿ_gúYs_wÃnt_tò_chÃt_with­_mê

  • a router from 2007, does nobody read the posted date anymore?

  • how much is one of those..

    

  • is somebody connected to the router??? i think its my :)

  • Nice gimmick but I doubt most people are going to have their router right in front of them to see it.

  • Great info, just use MAC not encryption, so I can sent a packet to a connected laptop and then spoof the MAC and get into your network...great advice....not use encryption!

  • that guy is an idiot,

    MAC address filterin will keep MOST people off your network.

    but sending out unencrypted data. omg who would do that.

  • @OhNoNotMyPenis

    Also, I'd like to see some evidence that encryption can measurably affect performance. Signal strength / range should be the only significant factor.

  • This guy sounds like a used car salesman, now the hardware is great, and soon it will support DD-WRT.

  • LOL mac address filtering only, thats so easy to spoof with backtrack, and WEP is easy to crack too. Why do I know this? Because Ive cracked my network many times.

  • jevansturner so that router's software is not properly programmed,, thats the answer to that ^_^

  • @socsci22 Nope. It's normal behavior. If it isn't encrypted, it's broadcast "in the clear."

  • Comment removed

  • mine has 4 bitch!

  • @JediFonzie your cool

  • Please tell more people to MAC filter so I can easily spoof mine and not go through the hassle of cracking it

  • @lilmayo16 mac filtering means the MAC address of the computer is being put into the routers or any type of device so that that device will be the one to enter the wireless network, for example you registered a computer's MAC address to the routers software, it is the only that will be allowed to enter the wireless network of the router.

  • @socsci22

    lilmayo16 knows that. He's saying that MAC filtering is effectively NO SECURITY AT ALL. All of your MAC addresses are broadcast in-the-clear, so anyone could simply spoof one of the MAC IDs to get on.

    Even worse, I found that you don't have to spoof the MAC. MAC filtering only disabled DHCP for MACs that aren't recognized. YOU CAN STILL GET ON BY SIMPLY ENTERING MANUAL IP SETTINGS! (at least, this is how it works for routers that I've tested)

  • @jevansturner so the software of that router was not properly programmed. it usually happened

  • @socsci22

    Incorrect. If you use MAC filtering without encryption as the guy suggests, there is no way to hide your MAC addresses. There is no way software / firmware programming can stop you from spoofing a MAC ID.

  • this router sucks!!!

    Which better router is: D-Link DIR-655? or D-Link DIR-855?

    No lag and lower ping

    answer me!!!! plz!

  • @Eragon86micky hello i suggest that you use DIR-855 router, it gives you better range and better wireless N network.. and it does not interfere the signal,, In our office we use it to more than a hundred computers for wired connection.. we also use switch

  • @Eragon86micky i prefer to use DIR-855 its much faster.. but its expensive.. but its good router

  • FUCK YOU BELKIN YOU GUYS FAIL

  • I have a DIR-615. Once DD-WRT is added it is actually very capable.

  • Great Asian women for you ***lushfmlk.info***

  • THANKYOU - THAT MAN who gave the info on MAc adress filtering keeping it faster!

  • i have a question ; if u use wired for a g router and wired for a n router... is there any difference or not? becuz my comp. and ps3 using wired still freezes sometimes when i'm using wired on g router so i'm wondering if n would improve the kbits

  • have they fixed the xbox disconnect every 2 hour issue yet ?

  • can you uses a belkin wireless router moderm with this because i don't a have a cable connection

  • this sh it sucks ass... wow it has a freaking screen and 3 stupid antennas so what?! Belkin is a gay ass company and this is just gay, I have D-Link two antennas and it has like freaking good protection and when i play my freaking games it doesnt lagg at all and even when im using my laptop and my bro playing xbox downstairs and 2 other iphones on the same network i still play with no fu.cking lagg YEAH GO D-LINK! *i also like linksys rofl*

  • that's sexy router I think I need a new one my N router is already a year old I need this N1 Router

  • This Router has not giving me any problem's

  • that is not the best router for ps3

  • @hitmen579 What is?

  • is this better or NETGEAR DGN2000 Wireless ADSL Router plz help

  • NEVER GET BELKIN!!!

  • man wait till there is wireless modems! then u will only need power cords.

  • This on is good i bought the Uk model of this f5d8232 uk4... may be you do know how to configure it correctly.. mine can reach the 300mps and some times it drops to 270. the only reason of dropping speed due to interference not the router,,, because it only runs at 2.4 ghz... lots of appliances uses that bandwidth special the wireless telephone... if you want to run it smoothly put it away to the appliances and put it in the high places..

    and it is a LIFE TIME WARRANTY

  • Peace of crap you need to turn of the QoS setting in "Wireless > Channel and SSID" to fix this thing, looks like the Belkin firmware cannot implement QoS effectively.

  • Turn of the QoS setting in "Wireless > Channel and SSID" to fix this thing, looks like the Belkin firmware cannot implement QoS effectively.

  • This router sucks! A lot of people are having problems with these including me.. At first it dropped connection every two hours, the solution was to flash the device to firmware 1.0.0.16(beta), worked ok for a time.. but now the router won't boot up, the progress bar stops at 10-20% and resets itself... I've tried to reset the router, hold the reset button for 10, 20,30 secs, holding it while turning the router on but nothing helps..

  • just authenticating mac address is in not secure I can hack into a rounter configured this way jsut as fast as wep. use wpa for compleat security

  • i heard routers affects your internet connection and i also heard this router is bad even the N router. so... wha do you suggest to buy? i need help!!!!!

  • my gosh is it me but why does my belkin router always disconnect from my modem it's annoying can some one help me

  • @shalom2467

    every 2 hours? I had that problem, it's something with the internet clock updating, try to flash it to the beta version 1.0.0.16

  • @dif0r4 thanks

  • eres un cabron hijo de puta

    you bastard cabron

  • @VistaApple Are you sure it sucks and your modem, computer, cable/phone company doesn't suck? Had mine for over a year with no problems and the fastest most reliable speeds to date...of course I pay over a hundred a month for internet. Might want to look at other potential bottlenecks before bashing something for no reason.

  • this is the best router for xbox 360

  • @petersizzle

    i get disconnected from xbl every now and again

    

  • @petersizzle this is garbage bro compared to the DIR-655 and now the trendnet 691 kicks all routers asses

  • @petersizzle yeah bullshit, this router is a pile of crap kid

  • Never ever ever buy Belkin

    I bought belkin N wireless Router and it SUCKS

    Never do the same mistake

  • i cant stand belkin either

  • is that true? authenticating via MAC addr instead of WPA encryption will boost your speed? or is it too little to tinker with?

  • is wireless n router better than G

  • hahahaa...his funny!!

  • how you install it

  • Router is great for Mac OS. I've had zero issues, but the display is not bright enough.

  • Are Belkin routers trusworthy in comparison to other brands ... Ive heard Netgear is better!!! I need a router for a N wireless network adaptor for the xbox 360!! Can anyone reccomend a good cheap one to me?? Prefferably under $80 or so!!

  • question to this poster. Can you connect this router to the DSL/modem via wireless without cable??

  • Does it have gigawan, can you hang it upsidedown & can you then flip the screen..

  • this router fucking sucks when you get a firmware crash

  • Guys the router rocks! its has a very high range !

  • coooooool

  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT listen to that idiot talking about mac filtering.

    It is true (to a certain extent) that WPA and WEP slows down the wifi speed BUT IT IS SECURE.

    WPA is anyway - WEP is so so easy to crack.

    It is very easy to alter the mac filtering system remotely to allow the hackers mac address onto the network. Once they are on, they can cause all sorts of problems that could easily have been avoided.

    Encrypt with WPA using a random sequence of letters and numbers for best results.

  • what about spoofing 92?

  • if u have a hacker nearby u can see them on LCD so it don't matter either

  • i doubt it.

  • does it work well with i pods?

  • mine is the shit

  • Reflected signal my ass!

  • @daviem619

    They suck don't they? mine looses connection all the time when I'm playing ps3 online and when I'm on msn not all my messages that people r sending me come through.

    So it's like I'm ignoring them when it hasn't come through

  • will a new router increase by xbox/ laptop connection with the wireless router.

  • Comment removed

  • i will buy it

  • garbage garbage

    DON'T EVER BY A BELKIN ROUTER

  • I COMPLETELY agree... the N1 VISION is GARBAGE... i just got finished throwing mine away...

  • Guys I have been searching around and I'm quite tired already I have a linksys wrtg2 which disconnects me from time to time the only solution is to reconnect the power cable. I need a new router also it must be really reliable because I'm going to use it for business such as VOip. Thank you very much

  • 4:25 I wouldn't do that. Someone can spoof mac address and bypass this "security" feature.

  • man i need help istalling a wireless router

  • hmmm to bad looks cool but everyone says its shit oh well guess I will look eles were for a wireless modem if you know of any good wireless modems that put out a signal of 300mbs and up with dropping out and fucking up plz respond im looking for a good wireless gaming router

  • just get a belkin n router

  • This Router is absolute garbage if you bought it and cant take it back go get a 20$ and you know longer have to deal with random disconeects connection isues low ping strick nat ect.

  • @TheOnlyDuST fuck and walmart

  • BELKIN SUCKS ASS !!! i can not open my ports lollol

  • The routermaker is a dumbass

  • MAC address filtering is less safe then WEP.

  • can it connect wii to the internet?

  • I have this router and it works fine with my windows vista computer, xp laptop, vista laptop, and my friends osx laptop, xbox360 and ps3. This is a solid router.

  • Oh yes, you forgot to tell everyone that this router ships with a free 2 hour disconecting bug when playing online games! And even if you download the pre-release patch, it will render the router incompatible with your wireless xbox! Value for money? certainly not.

  • Aggred i have the same problem with my PS3. I Just brought an Apple airport

  • so it pretty much makes and xbox 360 wireless adapter usless?

  • No its still allows you to play games for a full 2 hours but then connection drops and reconnects but will kick you from your online game, if you need a temp fix message me.

  • will this router reach everywhere around the house? cuz my router is downstaires and my room is upstaires so is my brothers, but we dont get any connection what so ever, if i do get this router will my psp and ps3 be able to play online without bad connection (when i get a ps3) lol just wondering if its worth getting..

  • Yea this router will definetly cover your whole house if not a whole office.

  • rofl

  • im getting newen cus my philkips sna650 is crap stuff . im getting netgear mimio thingy

  • How bout hide SSID + Mac Filtering and last but not least WPA2 - AES. Call the cops if someone is still able to get through !!

  • Is this good for gaming plz Reply ?????

  • Yes it is I use this with my PS3 which is upstairs and don't have any problems downloading content.

  • youtube . com/AnAppADay plz go there if you want app reviews im helping supportin him :D (without the spaces of course)

  • can you set up WEP password it or no im confused i need answers!

  • ToganR

    all new routers have WEP but DONT USE IT. it is very weak and can be cracked in mins

    use WPA2 - AES

  • router suxs if u have a psp forget about getting connection from this crappy thing

  • As long as i seen PSP has a lot of problems with almost everything. I think the PSP is the one that sux.

  • I cracked open my N1 Vision last night after 6 months of WIFI Hell to discover the prats didn't put a heat-sync on the WIFI card . I chopped off the GPU heat-sync from my old laptop and stuck it to the card wih some thermal paste .

    From >1MB/s from 9MB/s and no wifi crashes

    If you have a n1 vision with the same symptoms (Bad wifi performance / WIFI crashing but not the router or Internet/Ethernet connections) id suggest you do the same thing .

  • i am now confused which router to buy basically i want a router that will give me good connection when im playing online on 360 including my laptop and ps3 being on at the same time.

  • My cousin watches youtube too much! so I try to kick her off. That this is what I need!

  • Antennas, Soo outdated lol

  • Looks cool, seems useful, but belkin makes the crappiest routers I ever used.

    .. it even has a clock and date... year:1999 lol

  • dude

    u fail

  • om soo going too buy that

  • XD lol!

  • i brought this n1 router casue i needed a new router and his motha fuka on this screen convinced me to get 1 since day 1 its been horrible its totally shit i mean its nasty i see this jerk in ire life im a kick him in u cost me £140 stupid twat dont buy this n1 it dont even connect to vista..

  • well..i got the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router but can someone tell me how far of a range it has?i figured ot like around 1000-3000 but im not that sure

  • i'll go with Linksys WRT310N with DD-WRT OR D-Link Dir-655

  • I've been looking for a dual band gaming router for ages but really getting confused which to by. any ideas?

  • Must say I am a bit disappointed with my new N1 Vision.

    Then I tried a N1, this keeps dropping the ADSL connection,I plugged my 4 year old Netgear wireless ADSL router and this worked as it has done for the past few years,the only impvovement I noticed whilst the N1 was working was a slightly better signal,but it was sited by the front door and the thing would "Stall" as we walked past the N1!

  • I didnt do alot of research because I needed a router fast but I have heard that D-link are the best. There were none of them in the shop when I fired back that belkin but I went for netgear rangemax. Serious improvement over the belkin anyway and the ping problem disappeared.

  • does it tell if like a psp connects to your router?

  • not sure but in mine the ps3 comes up as unknown device so i guess it would be the same as psp

  • Hi everyone the same thing happen to me with my PS3, but not now. Go to network setting on PS3 then Internet connection settings go Automatic till the page with DHCP host name, There you see set or do not set, choose set then the next display will ask you for a host name, I type in PS3, go though rest of setting then save setting, now the display on my router shows PS3, hope it help you and let me know if not.

  • thanks for advice but i have my ip address set up as static and it doesnt give that option when u chose static for some reason. but thanks anyway

  • hey come someone help me out?

    Right now I have a belkin wireless router and there are a couple of problems with it. Sometime it will show me that the port is good (the one that I'm hooked up to), but I cant connect at all to the internet. Is there something I should do or can someone reccomend another router for me (preferably under $100 CDN)

    thanks

  • the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router is the best...but its 99.99 at walmart but the tax is there too.but i have it and its AWESOME

  • This router is a joke. Got one last week and today I wanted to kick it all the way back down the road back to pc world where i bought the thing. Really bad pings, really inconsistent data transfer, cheaply made, way way too expensive. Tried everything to make it work. Avoid this product at all costs if you want high performance for online gaming or for anything else!!! I also think that anyone saying that this is a good router is some bullshitter working for belkin!!!

  • MAC address filtering is ineffective, anyone can use a program to simulate a valid MAC and access the network. You should always use encryption.

  • Explain?

    Each Network card has a unique MAC. It would be a clever trick to find this mac and then simulate it but I'm all ears. You say anyone can do this, I can't...and I'm fairly competent with a computer. But, as I say, do tell me more and I will use that bandwidth hogging Encryption in future

  • I do not want to say how it is done, but in simple terms there is a program that obtains the MAC addresses of the clients on the network (the hard part), then there is another program that you just type the MAC address you want and it tells windows to assume thats the one.

  • parpi83 is correct you know... MAC address filtering isn't secure if someone actually wants to get in to your network.

    MAC addresses can be spoofed easily.

  • Belkin FTW!

  • guyz i dont know nothing about that i only know 1 thing ... i hsould buy a wwirless router for my ps3 ......... so help tell me wat to do how to conect it and all that pleas help

  • This router is getting mixed reviews, some ppl absolutely detest it while some others on other online computer item sale websites just absolutely love it o.o

  • DO NOT BUY!!!! TERRIBLE ROUTER. Looks sleek and all, nice features, big price, thats why i bought it. BUT IT FKN SUCKS. I'm not even on wireless and it disconnects every fuckin 2 hours. I lose connection when i play games, poker, or plain surfing. IT SUCKS. NOT RECOMMENDED. AND BELKIN U SUCK! UR FUCKN CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE! TELL ME THE SAME SHIT EVERY TIME, NO HELP. IF U R GOING TO BUY THIS ROUTER, msg me, i will send u a link of user reviews, u will not make the same mistake.

  • know what you mean it sucks balls but 1 thing i will say is , if you are not on a wireless connection then its worth trying the f5d8232-4 ww v1.00.16 firmware , it works ok on a wired router but not at all on a wireless xbox 360

  • yeah , i tried the pre-release firmware. It updates 50% and then error, won't finish. I think it's only for UK & AU users? And I went into the console of the router, and killed the interval that disconnects every 2 hours. still,, same problem. I've packed it and hooked up my old linksys wrt150n , voila.. no more headaches. LD

  • yea i know what you mean i`am tempted to dig my linksys out the box.

  • I've contacted belkin.. they gave me a new link for firmware.. it still disconnects while i'm gaming.. but other than that.. surfing & working online, no problems.

  • yea the f5d8232-4 ww v1.00.15 firmware is like that for me , hope they get it right with f5d8232-4 ww v1.00.17

  • i got a Belkin Wireless-N Broadband Router and when im on ps3 playin cod 4 im on red bar help please.

  • lol!!! i got a ps3 and i play COD5 with the wireless G router and it does not lag even one bit!!!!

  • Throw the belkin in the skip or send it back dude if you can. This router is beyond a joke!

  • DO NOT BUY!
