Simple, Easy and it works (can't ask for more than this) Nov 08, 2008
This was as simple and painless of an installation as you could want, and it works flawlessly. This router was installed on a 20" Imac running 10.4.11, and the wife's wireless computer is a G4 Ibook. This was less than a 25 minute installation, from out of the box, to having a wireless working connection.

Some history. I have been through 2 previous routers, and this Belkin is the simplest to install and get up and running.... 2 weeks now and not one problem.... no reason to call for assistance, unlike the other two which needed help in the install process and beyond, way beyond.

My best advice.... never ever purchase a D-Link product. D-Link Stinks. They have no customer support whatsoever.... NONE!, just an automated phone system, a 40 minute waste of time, then a message stating "due to heavy call volume, we are unable to take your call at this time, thank you, goodbye!" You get that message no matter when you call, at least for the four days I tried before I threw their router in the trash...

My second best advice..... avoid Lynksys, but not for the same reason. At least they answer the phone. Contacting them is easy, and there is not wait, but all their technical support is in India or in the Philippines. I spent the better part of 3 days trying to get the Lynksys router working talking to "Minnie Mouse" in the Philippines, or "Sam" in Pakistan before I realized that I knew more about a Mac than both of them combined, and that they were never going to help me establish a maintained connection. I will admit, I am in my 60's and my hearing is not so good, but I honestly don't think I understood half of what they were saying.

Then I bought this little beauty, and life once again is pleasant..... My wife has wireless internet while she sits and watches her home and garden programs on TV, and I can work in peace on my computer in my room.

Thank you Belkin, and especially for making it affordable.

Belkin ME1004-R Wireless Cable/DSL Router Nov 04, 2008
This router was very easy to configure and get running right out of the box. It seems to have good coverage and performance for the price. The only problem I'm having is my computer keeps downgrading the connection speed from 54Mbps to 11Mbps, even when I'm right next to the router, and it occasionally drops the connection completely. Both of these are annoying, but since my computer is junk (DELL D600), I can't be sure the problem is the router. (I use the REPAIR function to reset it back up to 54Mbps when it slows down.) Otherwise, it's been fine.

Works Great For The Price! Oct 26, 2008
I needed a wireless router to use "once-in-awhile" at my mother's old farmhouse. Lots of thick plaster walls. Cable modem is located upstairs. This device worked well. A few dead spots in the house, but overall, a good solution. Set up was quite simple and the device has worked well and has not required re-booting. I probably would not have bought this as my primary router for my house, but would is an ideal solution for an apartment or condo. One downside for the product is that you cannot attach an external antenna. The antenna on the unit cannot be removed.

An Inexpensive Wireless Router With Easy Setup & Good Performance Oct 19, 2008
Since this was my first time installing a wireless router, I was somewhat nervous if I could do it correctly and easily. Being a computer literate person that I am, I knew that installing the hardware was the easy part. But I was also pleasantly surprised to find out how easy it was setting it up wirelessly with my laptop.

I definitely could have used this right out of the box wirelessly with my laptop, but I prefer to have certain security features turned on/off while I am online. And if you don't know what features to turn on/off, you can use the included CD to walk you through it.

The size of this wireless router is very small. Its range is also very good for my small apartment. And so far, I haven't experienced any slowdown or loss of connection yet. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive wireless router with standard features.

It works pretty well now, but originally I had to keep re-installing it using the start-up CD.
