“I chose Belkin because I have some of their other...”

written by Zeb4 on 09/12/2005

Good Points
Known manufacturer. Good Signal. Relatively easy to set up and reliable once working correctly. It is working with an Acer laptop with XP Home, and an old PC with Win98SE, and they network through it quite happily.

Bad Points
I cannot persuade it to accept a new network name rather than the default Belkin name, but that is probably just me! The Win98SE was more difficult to connect than the XP Home, but it just needed a bit of thought.

General Comments
I chose Belkin because I have some of their other products. They also use the same wireless system manufacturer as my new laptop wireless, so should be better for compatibility. The supplier also included a free (usually £25) Belkin PC wireless board as part of the deal, which I would have had to buy anyway.

The Belkin F5D7633-4UK router has four ethernet ports, which I don't really need, apart from the initial setup, which is best done via an ethernet cable connection. There may be other models available with different ports.
