 Belkin N1 wireless router: easy install but undependable November 13, 2008
The Belkin N1 Wireless Router is by far the easiest to install of the 6 or so different systems I've set up. It's also the only router I've had to send in for warranty...TWICE. Each time the router worked flawlessly for about a month. Then it quit broadcasting SSID despite Setup reconfigurations, reboots, etc. Tried different channels, wireless modes, even turned the protected mode and security features off. Called support both times (outsourced to India) and they couldn't fix it either. Now I don't even want a replacement unit, I'm going back to my old faithful Linksys WRT54GL which has performed well since day one (besides the need to reboot it once or twice a year).
 Great router November 4, 2008
I have used a few of these routers for installs with my business and they are great. The MIMO technology and 3 antennas give this guy great range. Apparently they have fixed some firmware issues that were knocking it offline periodically when it first came out. Overall, this is a solid buy if you need a good, wireless-N router with great range and reliability at a quality price.
 Not a good choice for MAC or PS3 users October 30, 2008

These are my personal opinions and experiences with this product. We purchased this exact model and paid $105.00 at Micro Center. After following all directions and even having my brother (a certified tech and programmer) come out to help work out the bugs, we still had issues! I bought this router in hopes of using it with my new Mac and PS3. We wanted to be able to get online with the PS3. However we came across many issues with the router.
Issue #1: Even though I have one of the fastest satellite connections available, there was too much lag to allow my Mac and the PS3 system to be online at the same time. The PS3 would time out trying to connect to a server if anyone was online using the Mac.
Issue #2: This router likes to interfere with other electrical devices! No matter where i went in my 2,300 square foot home with my cell phone, the router would cause dropped calls. Yes, it was shutting my phone completely off in the middle of a conversation. Then the phone wouldn't come back on till the router was fully unplugged and no longer in use. It made our florescent lighting make this god awful humming and vibrational noises that no one could live with.
Issue #3: Regardless of what this router says it doesn't work the best with a MAC. We had to bypass cords, go in and change a million setting in my mac and still had issues to where it wasn't working properly.
There were several reasons I purchased this item. The main reason was so one person could be online with the computer doing their internet or web browsing thing and another family member could be online with the Play Station 3 either playing games, or just simply being online. NOT gonna happen! The lag was so large that this was impossible! Neither the person on the computer nor the person on the PS3 could get anywhere nd again I have a government satellite connection... it doesn't get any faster than that folks!
The weirdest part yet that both my brother and the techs from Micro Center can't figure out is why the router totally drained my $500 batter back up/generator for my entire system. This gives me approx. 20 minutes of power in the event of a power outage. This router drained the batter back up on a permanent basis. The battery backup can not recharge its self now because of the electrical interference this route caused.
If you have a PC and not a MAC this router may be fine for you. If you have a MAC like I do and expect to use this router with a gaming system or other multi user set up.. FORGET ABOUT IT! It was a waste of money on our half and we have yet to find a good wireless router that does the proper job.
Really Great! Best Option out there! October 28, 2008

Despite what a lot of the bad reviews for this router - I just purchased it yesterday because my old router (Linksys) was broken. Upon purchasing it, it was very very easy to set up the router. It does seem to take a couple of hours to not drop the wireless - but after that it's been working perfectly and FAST. Also - it doesn't take up a lot of space.
I own several macs and everything was able to go wireless immediately!

I bought this router thinking that it would improve the signal strength in my apartment I was wrong it didn't improve anything the signal strength it's the same as my old TP-LINK router.
