Customer Review: Never will buy Belkin again
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had this router for a few years now. Where should I start? Well, let talk about the web-based interface. It is so buggy that it does not work with Firefox. It only seems to work for Internet Explorer 6 and 7, because it seems to tolerate broken Javascript. I would use IE if I had it, but I am a Linux user, so none of the standards-based browsers that I have will not work at all.
I actually found were the bug was, but I can't do anything about. This leads to the second issue of support. I sent the issue to Belkin support, but there was never a response. Checking their support site, there is no firmware updates for this. None at all.
So, here's the scoop on what I cannot do. I cannot set any WEP keys, because buttons you need to use to apply the settings silently fail. Therefore, I cannot have a secure wireless, which makes this router useless to me.
I am sure that the newer products have better support, but I think I will spend my money on a Linksys WRT54G.
