Review on ๐Ÿš€ Powerful and High-Speed Belkin N750 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band N+ Gigabit Router (F9K1103) by Christopher Karamba

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Overheated. not well done. There is no heatsink on the main chip.

Worked great for a while, then broke down every now and then. A power cycle will get it working again or just wait a bit. I noticed that the case was quite warm (in an air conditioned room) and getting warmer. Smoked today. Dead. Doesn't start, just flashes blue and goes out. Since the warranty period had already expired, I opened it. The CPU had no heatsink and was /burned/ hot. About 180'F. Very (very) crappy design. This high-speed processor REQUIRES a heatsink. If you're a techie and have a heatsink, there's a screw in the base, then a screw hidden under the silver stripe above the switch, and another on the back that I don't use. I do not understand how you can reach. The BGA chip is overheating. If you can stick a heatsink on it, you can keep it a little longer.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Sad packaging
