Belkin N150 Wireless/Wi-Fi N Router with MultiBeam Technology, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

Bought this for my mother who has a small 2 bedroom apartment. Has been installed for over 3 weeks now. It was so very easy to install, simple instructions, did not have to adjust any settings. We just attached it to the DSL modem, loaded the CD into each computer that was going to use the network, followed the simple instructions, works great. We did have a problem trying to set up an account, which we still have not been able to do. May call later for assistance if we find it would be helpful to have an account, but so far everything works great. We have had my mother's desktop computer (also running wireless now), her notebook computer, my notebook computer and the printer all running on the network at the same time. There was absolutely no degradation in service, have never had a problem with disconnects even with all computers running at the same time and two of the computers sending documents to the printer. This includes using one of the notebook computers at the furthest location in the apartment away from the router as possible. The only problem we have is the slower Verizon DSL service compared to the faster Verizon FIOS service I have at my house, so not a Belkin problem. Too bad my mother can't get FIOS. But her internet access is as fast as it was when it was attached directly to the modem. Would highly recommend this product. 5/28/2015 - Just found this review I wrote in 2011. My mother is still using the same Belkin N150, still works great even if we have 3 computers running at the same time. The retirement community she lives in switched voice/Internet carriers about 6 months ago. Saw no difference in performance. Highly recommend.

Before I purchased the Belkin N150 I was using a D-Link. Despite the fact that it worked the connection was unreliable and often slow. I was unable to change much of the settings due to a clunky system and therefore it always remained an open-network. It simply felt alien to me. Well that is all gone now with the Belkin N150. This thing is just what I needed. Its fast, reliable, convenient and best of all perfectly palpable. As I scoured through Amazon for the right router at the right price I found the N150. It seemed to have everything I needed and all for just $30 so I ordered it. When I received my N150 (which arrived on the estimated ship date) I quickly unwrapped and began setting it up. Its design is simple and sleek. The simplicity however might be a bit much. Where my D-Link had indicator lights for each port and how well the connection was working the Belkin just has a single light, which shines blue when its working properly. This is an issue, however, that I hardly ever care about. My router is not really in sight and if I am curious about how well it is running I can just use the very well designed software that came with it. Once installed, a router button (also a blue bar) sits in your icon bar. So you always know if it is running at optimum efficiency or not. The button can take you to the routers settings, setup, manual, options, help and checks for updates. Installing the software was as easy as following a few steps and being on your way. Another nice feature is that the device comes with a paper card, which can be slid under the N150, that displays the routers default name and access code. The Belkin N150 is a shining example of the phrase: "If you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all" It does its job protecting my internet whilst giving me fast access speeds all without ever causing me problems.

I ordered this as a gift for a friend who lives halfway across the country from me. I help her remotely via phone and instant message. She's a good example of an average consumer as in she is far from an idiot but neither is she an advanced computer user. On the other hand, I've been using, fixing, networking, etc. computers since 1979 so I could almost do this in my sleep. On the day that the router arrived at her workplace, before I could call her to help her set it up, she IM'd me using the new router thanking me for the gift and for "fixing" her problem. That's right, She had no problems setting it all up and getting it working on her own. This says a lot for the installation wizard and whatever documentation came with the router. I've got this router's big brother and have to say it is one of the best wireless consumer routers I've ever used and I've used many Linksys, D-Link, Airlink, older Belkins, Trendnet and others. The only problem I had with my Belkin router was that my wife's new iPad wouldn't stay connected to it unless I turned off the encryption. That was a problem in that version of the iPad operating system, not with the Belkin. (Of course the Apple Airport Extreme I picked up worked perfectly with the iPad.) All in all, I have to say that this line of Belkin routers is probably one of the best for consumers that I've found.

Plugged it in, hooked it up to the internet and within 2 minutes it was working. Didn't even have to bother with the install disc. This is the second Belkin router that I own and for ease of setup and overall reliability they can't be beat.

If you are looking for a router for a consistent wired connection this one is okay. The wifi part is touch and go. The wifi worked consistently for a month and now drops connection or does not connect at all. Security was easy to setup and I am using this as an access point for my printer and netflix viewing on my player. I would not recommend for someone who works from home unless using a patch cable.

I just purchased this one. It's really easy to set up and connect to the Internet. The speed is good. Cover range is also one of its advantage. Btw, if you are looking for something for a small to medium room, this should be one of the best choice :D I recommend this product.

As others have said, this is cheap, easy to set up and reliable. After a couple of weeks, yes, yes, and yes. Nothin' to complain about to this point.

Have had Belkin router since 2005 that says it all.
