Terrible signal strength - buy another router!

I read a lot of reviews on this site and took a chance with this inexpensive router. I found the installation a bit frustrating and not that easy, and some reviews make it sound like it. I ended up calling tech support for help setting it up. Technical support was helpful. So I successfully connected the router to my desktop computer and was able to connect wirelessly to my laptop, but I was only able to stay on the wireless connection when I was about 10-12 feet from the router. I didn't haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Simple, easy and it works (can't ask for more)

It was as easy and painless to install as you could ask for and it works flawlessly. This router was installed on a 20 inch Imac running 10.4.11 and my wife's wireless computer is a G4 Ibook. Installation took less than 25 minutes from unpacking to having a working wireless connection. A bit of history. I have used 2 previous routers and this Belkin is the easiest to install and set up. It's been 2 weeks and there hasn't been a single problem. No need to ask for help unlike the other 2 whoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • no instructions

Works fine good for networking products

Great product from Belkin. I had trouble setting it up and at first thought it was because I have Windows Vista. The instructions for this router are not really for Windows Vista as it was released before Vista. I ended up installing it on a Windows XP laptop and still had issues that caused my cable modem to not work during the install (sometimes you just need to restart your cable modem and wireless router for them to sync with each other too ). . Once the modem came back, the router workedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Works great, setup was fine

This router was a great replacement for my Linksys that eventually failed. I have an iMac and it was a bit of a hassle for me to set up. The installation CD isn't very convenient and I had to manually configure the router, but that was just a minor inconvenience. What struck me as odd was the inability to use numeric passwords when setting up router security. Not sure if it was a problem with the router or with me, once again it was just a minor inconvenience. Since then it's been workingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • sparkles
Cons
  • some little things
