Belkin F5D8051 Review by Ben T. Stickney (Dallas, Tx)
I decided to finally upgrade to an 'N' Network so that my computers all over the house would not be stringing wires everywhere....
Knew Belkin Name for inexpensive but quality products... This is NOT one of them.
I got 4 of these along with their N Router...
I could not get the network to work, I fought it for 2 weeks off and on, and I couldn't get anything to talk to anything else. All I was trying to do at the time was setup 1 wireless computer about 5 feet away from the router, which was sitting right next to my ISP's Gateway device. Figured I'd get one working then head out to get the others configured. After 2 weeks I gave up, had a friend look at it, and we finally figured out the issue was the adapter was dead. Tried the second one and was on the network in about 5 minutes. When finally done, we had 2 dead adapters, from 2 different purchase points, out of 6 we tried to use.
Recommendation is stay away from Belkins 'N' Network devices.
Their Tech support is not great as their out-sourced support has a script to follow, and if you have something that isn't on the script you need to unplug your Router and adapter device for 30 minutes, plug it back in and see if that fixes the issue. If not call back with this case number (In other words, I have no idea, call back and get some one else)...
Belkin F5D8051 Review by Raoul Watson (Bronx, NY United States)
Paired with the Belkin N1 wireless router, I clock a consistent 300mbps. Setup is a breeze. This maybe a little biased since I am a rather experienced network admin but by all count since I don't have to manually configure anything, any layman should be able to setup within 10 minutes.
What is disappointing is that I wrote Belkin tech support and also posted on their support site a question, received an acknowledgement and a "canned" email stating someone will get back to me within 72 hours. That was over ten days ago.. still no response.
Belkin F5D8051 Review by E. A. DiGiacomo "Captain" (New Jersey, USA)
Have this product installed on my daughter's computer for about two years without any major problems. Read all the other reviews and it appears a lot of customers are having issues with this adapter. I also purchased the Belkin N1 Vision router and it's a good product, easy to install, just plug in the wires and the Belkin N1 Vision does the complete set-up for you. I hooked this router to my computer running cable then to my daughter's computer using the old slow AOL phone modem. Installed the Belkin N1 wireless USB adapter to her computer and she is now downloading and uploading at high-speed. I do agree that Belkin has not made any firmware updates to both the adapter and the N1 router since my purchase about two years ago. The only minor issue I became aware of was on some occasions the system would indicate "No Internet Connection", both my computer and my daughter's system would drop the internet signal, consequently losing all connection to the internet. To resolve this issue after speaking with a Belkin representative, he advised me to power-off the Belkin N1 router for about 30 seconds then power-on to allow the router to re-boot. After re-booting the signal was regained and the internet connection was restored. I sense this is a firmware issue which Belkin still has not resolved with both of these products. I hope this information is helpful to anyone experiencing the same issue(s) with Belkin wireless equipment. Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Router (F5D8232-4)
