Why Belkin sucks
veXed | 6:10 AM on 10.20.2007 12 comments


Yes I know I should have took the time to make sure it was XBL compatible before purchasing, but since buying this POS router I have opened ports, tried messing with NAT settings, everything, and it keeps f'in up my XBL.

Logs me out, disconnects from games, doesnt even connect most times. Its not just XBl either, it constantly re-boots itself every 20-30 mins, kicking the entire network offline.

I have talked to tech, tried absolutely EVERYTHING so today im taking this POS router back to the shop. I knew I should have just bought the one I wanted, but the 40 year old virgin working at my local electronics store was sure this was the BESTEST WITTLE DEAL around. hmmmmmm..... obviously not.

The moral of the story? Dont waste your money on a F'in product made by Belkin.




THIS ROUTER F'IN SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been using a Belkin router on Xbox Live since 2004 without issue. In fact, I have a Linksys WRT54G (the original version with Linux on it instead of the new ganked ones) and I was getting a better connection off the Belkin.

I'm not sure what is going on with yours, but chances are:

Within the next couple of weeks I will be doing this

With this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833314006
As far as I can tell, it has a good chance of working, and if not... oh noes, $30 down the drain *shrug*



And if that one works like yours, someone in that product page said this,
"The wizard doesn't work well. It also does a bad job of switching channels, and THAT's why everyone is saying that they are losing connection. Solution: change it so that the channel is a fixed one. Then you'll be fine."

Dunno if that helps you at all.

Buffalo makes good stuff, it seems. I'm using a Buffalo Airstation ethernet bridge with my linksys router to extend my network into my living room where my consoles live.

thanks for the help guys. I returned it and purchased a netgear router. The same router I had before I moved back here, so its all good now.
