 DON'T BUY THIS - OR ANY OTHER BELKIN PRODUCT!!May 24, 2010
Bought this and after being on the phone for hours and hours with FOUR different technicians each trying the same fixes, they decided it didn't work. They wanted to replace it but then they found that it was discontinued. Yes, discontinued. Belkin doesn't sell a range extender any more. AND, their instructions tell you that you can't return it to the place where you bought it!
After several more phone calls to their terrible customer service system I was told that they would offer me a $50 web credit if I sent it back. That means they would give me $50 off Belkin products sold on their web site, which was LESS than what I paid for it, plus I didn't want any of their products. So, I am screwed!
DON'T BUY BELKIN!!!!!!!!!!
 Good when it;s workingMay 16, 2010
When this device randomly locks on to the host signal it is strong and consistent, working for a few weeks at a time with no interrupts. Then it loses the host signal and re-estashblishing the connection is a frustrating, annoying event of resetting, moving antenna around and playing voodoo games. Hooking it up via ethernet cable to a PC and speaking with online help didn't work either; today it is locked-on and working well. In a week or so I'll go through the same silly dance again.
 Works, ignore documentationFeb 18, 2010
Once you ignore the documentation, set it up, it works like a charm.
I have a computer/networking background, so once I got on the web
page the rest was a snap. The reason I needed this box was to connect to
a troublesome Mac titanium that had limited range. There is a slight
latency hit because it needs to repackage each packet (probably) but
I'll take that over bad coverage any day.
One time I had to power cycle it to reset it, but might have been
the wireless AP's fault because of how many dhcp servers my network
requires.
Worked great when it worked...Feb 02, 2010
I have to say the product was extremely easy to set up and worked as expected for six months. Then it stopped working. When I called Belkin I was told they no longer manufacture the product. I reminded them of their 'lifetime guarantee' and though they finally covered it, they claim they don't cover guarantees on 'discontinued' products. I am also amused that when I bought the range expander it was about $45.00--now that it is no longer manufactured, the price has jumped. There is a reason Belkin no longer makes this product, or any range extender that I can see--not one of their finer moments.
Keep breaking downFeb 01, 2010
Get the produce and works great for 10 days and it broke down, the searching light keep flashing and never able to find the signal any more. Return it and get a second one works great again, and after 2 weeks dead again same symptom. May be a production problem and they fixed it now, but don't border and I am avoiding Belkin products.
