Review on Enhance Your Desktop's Connectivity with the Belkin F5D8000 Wireless Pre-N Network Card by Brandon Carr

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good range? What range?

Following the advice of several positive reviews of the Belkin Pre-N router and card, I bought it for my desk which is only 50 meters from the device. I had a Linksys Wireless-G card on my desktop and it was having poor reception so I figured pre-n would help. On the box they completely falsely boast that it's 800% better than the wireless G. This card got very weak on every connection (worse than my old g card) and after 2 hours of Belkin's TERRIBLE tech support and trying all 11 Channels and configurations had to be returned. There are very few obstacles along the way, but tech support swears there must be glitches. But I think it's a burden because I have two laptops that get great signal and sit great on my computer desk where a desktop card just can't work. Others have had success with this card, so it might be worth playing.
