This review is from: Belkin Play N600 Wireless Dual Band N Router (Personal Computers) For Christmas, one of the gifts I presented to my wife was a new laptop computer. She loved it, however, after a few days she starting complaining that she really needed access to the internet via her laptop, especially once her classes started back up in January. I started searching for options and didn't care for the wireless on-the-go route. I thought $50 a month coupled with a 2 year contact was too expensive and wouldn't even know if it would solve my issue. Then, I started looking at dual band routers and narrowed it down to two, the Belkin N600 and the Netgear N600. Both were made in China and had about the same features. I ended up going with the Belkin because it was on sale for $10 less than the Netgear. I also liked the the slim design and built in stand, whereas the Netgear had a separate stand if you wanted the item to stand vertical instead of laying horizontal. Once home, the installation was extremely easy and I was up and running in less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Upon completion of downloading the latest updates for my wife's laptop, I turned it over to her. She was thrilled and spent the next 3-4 hours on the machine. She never encountered an issue with the connection, and loved being able to access her files and folders from our other desktop computer. The speed at which she was accessing (surfing) the internet was very impressive. We live in a very large house and had no problems with the connection, it performed flawlessly. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and decision to go with the Belkin. It works exactly as advertised and I sincerely believe it is a great dual band router for the money. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Biggest Piece of crap ever This review is from: Belkin Play N600 Wireless Dual Band N Router (Personal Computers) So i purchased this router 8 months ago.... Month 1: Took three days and many calls to belkin support to setup, cd setup is a joke. After all the calls, i was only able to get 2.4 Ghz band working but not the 5 Ghz. Being a big reason for buying this, not having the 5Ghz band working was a disapointment. Several power cycles, resets, and reconfigs Month 2: All the previous procedures to get the wireless back up were now not working. So, i made another call to belkin. I was treated like an idiot and was told it was my ISP everytime (which it wasnt). I played around with 64 encryption and got my pc to recognize the 2.4ghz network and was able to get my mac to recognize the 5ghz network on WPA which i was happy about since 64 encryption is lacking in security. Things worked for a week then i had to reset and reconfigure this continued for months untill they finally release a firmware update that addressed the issue somewhat. I notice there is a weekly repair setting that was enabled which basically restarted the router weekly. After changing that setting things worked great for a month or so. Untill last week, when it did its stop working thing and this time i could not get the dang thing to connect to the internet. I searched for a new firmware and lo and behold there was one availible. I updated the firmware and things seemed to work ok. But, Apple Tv would not work with airplay sometimes and some ipad app remote features were buggy. then Yesterday i spent 4 hours trying to get the thing to work. nothing. So i went to work with it plugged in and connected to my modem. 6 hours later it just started to work. Makes no sence. I am fed up with the huge piece o crap. DO NOT BUY!!!!!. upon reading other reviews use with MAC is not a good fit. I would totally agree. I never notice a difference in speed between my Mac on the 5 ghz and pc on the 2.4ghz. You would think there would be but nope. If you own a Mac dont be cheap and by something you think will work. Just save hours of hassle and by a Airport extreme. I did, took me 2 mins to setup and my internet speed is blazing. not to mention the Range works across the street on my Iphone. With the belkin router maybe out the front door or 20 feet from router it would not work. Seriously dont buy this router. I now boycott Belkin you should too 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Requires frequent reboot    This review is from: Belkin Play N600 Wireless Dual Band N Router (Personal Computers) This router has buggy software requiring frequent rebooting. As an engineer I have a theory as to why this happens. The software contains memory leaks. The router allocates more and more memory without ever releasing the used memory. Over time the router runs out of memory and requires a reboot. Frankly Belkin needs to take time to fix the problem. But instead of fixing the software, Belkin added a setting called "Self Healing". How it works is you specify a time for the router to automatically reboot itself. So my assumptions are Belkin is well aware of the problem but instead if fixing it simply gave us an unacceptable workaround. This is the last Belkin product I will purchase.
