Review on πŸ“Ά Belkin ME1004-R High-Performance Wireless Cable/DSL Router by Alberto Brewster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 worked on every wireless laptop I logged into, including the one that had Vista installed. I use the router mostly with a Vista laptop and have never had a problem actually router related since setting up the router. Crashes only happen when my cable modem isn't working. The signal is excellent. I use the router upstairs and when I take my laptop downstairs the signal only drops on one band but I'm still surfing the internet with no complications or interruptions. I also have my iPod touch on a wireless network and it works fine with that. The installation CD that comes with it seems mostly unnecessary except to help you set up a security password to prevent others from gaining access. your network. You can connect non-wireless computers to the back of the router so they can connect to your cable modem. Basically, the connections on all of our computers are faster than ever. Great purchase so far - no problems. I've had pesky routers in the past, including my latest from Belkin, that seemed to need to be rebooted from time to time to allow my laptop to connect to the internet. Not with this router - money well spent for a cheaper router that still works.

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