Review of the Belkin F5D8235-4 v2000
I recently purchased a new Belkin Wifi Router with N+ Support. So far, it’s been alright.
The Good
- The authentication time is almost instant on my laptop, whereas with the previous router it would take about 30 seconds to connect
- Easy to use interface, nothing complex or non-standard
- Advanced settings are available, such as setting the Dynamic IP Lense Time
- The router has a good stand and will not fall over with the weight of cables.
The Bad:
- The setup requires you to use the Setup CD. Though the installation is not difficult, and though it does not create any unnecessary startup items, it does require Linux. You will need a Windows computer to get this router up and running.
- The router is supposed to be GPL Compatible Licensed. So far, Belkin has not released the source. No advanced software is yet available to replace the existing software.
The router has been stable with no substantial blips in the connection. This router has changed my perspective of Belkin completely.
Own a Belkin F5D8235-4 v2000, or a model very similar? Please comment and let us know what you think.
