My Belkin AC900 DB router works fine. I am having trouble with the software. Each time I boot up the “Get Connected” screen comes and I have to Exit to continue. Then if I want to open the program I am unable, I have to re-boot for the “Get Connected” screen. Any Ideas?
I have been using this router for about a year now and have never faced any of the problems you have listed. The connection has been very reliable and i cant remember a single instance when i have lost connectivity. This is a big improvement over my earlier Dlink router. The media function is amazing and it links your PC HD to your wifi television set and any external hard drive to all connected devices very well. The range is also fairly good. I have only a 4 mbps connection so the speed is not an issue for me.
I would recommend it to anyone based on my experience however i am not a expert and dont have anything else to compare with can only say it works flawlessly i have it connected to a basic TPlink modem and the combination seems to work pefrectly..
Only help i need is to find a way to prioritize wifi over lan. It has the option to enable prioritization of vedio chat ect but i want all wifi to be prioritized over lan which I am not sure is possible. I am always downloading something with max bandwidth on lan leading to this requirement.
Did anyone have issues with this router changing it’s Wifi IP address? I have a wireless security system that ports through DNS set up. It uses the Wifi IP, but when that changes the system goes down and I have to go back to the computer to look at what the new Wifi IP is. Kind of frustrating. Just curious if anyone else is having those problems.
I wish I’d read this review before I bought the n600. No assigning IP addresses by MAC address? Belkin will never get another dime from me, nor any company that I purchase for. What a ridiculous and necessary feature to remove.
I changed the parental control settings to try them out and lost internet access. I restored factory defaults, ensured all parental controls were back to normal.
still not internet access. the dreaded amber light. not the modem because i can connect directly to it.
I am out of ideas. sounds like it is something to do with northon.
Me have zero knowledge on wifi router and stuff like that. So please help me in buying the wifi
router for home use.
In my area mobile network sucks so i am not able to use my whatsapp.
Hence I am planning to buy wifi router.
Mostly I will be connecting my samsung galaxy s phone, pc and one laptop. My Pc is in my bed room and normally I use laptop in my hall area. So whatever may be I am buying should have great coverage.
So it would be great if you tell me which wifi router or wifi modem router is best for my needs.
Here are a few recommendations. In the end it is up to you what to buy:
Belkin N750 Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router – if you want to try Belkin’s latest family of routers, this is the model superior to the one reviewed here. And, from what I understood from others who tested it, it is a better router with less issues than the one we reviewed.
BELKIN F5D8235-4 WIRELESS ROUTER N+ – BKNF5D82354 – If you don’t mind an older model – I do have this one at home for a few years and I am very happy with it. It is old but it works very well and now it is cheap too.

Hi Rusen,

This thing is half-baked. Does not want to take a f/w update, can’t seem to handle changes in its IP address range. Boat anchor in my opinion.

Hi,

D-Link DIR-655 Extreme-N Gigabit Wireless Router – a good router, reasonably priced, good range and stable throughput.
Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router – this is another old model that works very well. It is very popular also because it can be modded with ease and transformed into a great router.
