I also haven't had a reason to get support from Belkin so I really can't comment there. Overall Review: Again, some reviewers have panned this router as 'garbage' or 'unreliable' or what have you but in reading some of the issues written, I have to question the supposed five star 'tech knowledge' proclaimed.
Not to say however that I didn't just get a 'good one' and I consider myself above average tech knowledge. In my experience with hard drives, have had a spotty experience with one very popular company's hardware. Cons: This router absolutely refuses to let me change anything.
Let me be more specific. After 3 months of having this router, it choked. It powers on, and defaults. When I try to change the SSID, and the pw, it then freezes, nothing but cell phones can access the internet through it. When I default it, reset with button it defaults back to factory, then works fine. As soon as I change anything, it locks up again. It's ridiculous. I can't get ANY support unless I BUY it, this router has been the absolute worst waste of my time since getting my netgear router replaced.
Cons: Router slows down after a few days. Have to reboot the router to regain normal wireless speed. They don;t release new firmware to improve their product. Overall Review: There seem to be a little problem resolving adresses.. This Limited Warranty does not apply in Australia.
