Belkin N750 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band N+ Gigabit Router (F9K1103)

I previously had a different Belkin router before this, so I trusted them for the most part as good in value without having to pay crazy for a Netgear. The one I had previous was basic, though, since I just needed a router at the time with a USB plug-in and range to literally the room next door where the router sat. Now we had to move the router to the opposite end of the house, and I couldn't pick up a range that it would stick to without having to sit in a different area of the house, which with kids running around meant I couldn't get done what I needed to without interruption. So the main reason for this buy was to get a better range.I just got this all set up (I knew how to set it up since I had one previous, but still the instructions that come with it are short and sweet and to the point, and took 20 minutes, max, to get all of our devices hooked up to it). I am currently sitting in the other end of the house and I almost have a full connection, and my internet is running faster as well, which is also a big bonus.I decided to buy this despite some bad reviews because I noticed that most of the 1 stars where older, 2011. Most of the 5 star where newer, 2014. I hadn't seen any bad reviews from recent years (not saying there isn't any!) and decided worse case scenario I could send it back.So far it's working great. It takes up less room than the old one, has better range, and is handling all of our device hookups a lot better. So far I would say I'm pretty satisfied, and would encourage anyone that needs the basics for a big home without having to pay 150 for it, this is a great deal!

I was replacing a 12 year old wireless 802.11b router, so I spent several days doing online research to find what I considered to be the best router for my money. In our home, we have a variety of computers, from a 10 year old Windows ME desktop, to several XP's, and a 1 year old Windows 7. We even have a brand new wireless all in one. Our wireless cards were everything from 802.11b, g and n. This router took them all on, and everything is running perfect. We went from a 2.5K download to 17K on the Windows 7. I'm even getting 8K on one of the older 802.11g machines. All of this was done through the network connections on the computers, but if you're not a techie, Belkin supplies you with a software disk that guides you through it. Phhhtt...couldn't get any easier than that.Setup is a snap...(1) Unplug your cable modem and remove your old router if you had one.(2) Put the N750 router on your desk and connect the supplied Ethernet cable to your modem.(3) Plug in your modem and wait a couple of minutes for it to come online.(4) Plug in your N750 router and wait a couple of minutes for it to begin working.(5) Belkin supplies you with a little card that has your unique wireless name (SSID) and your unique wireless password on it. This data is in the router, so all you have to do is insert the software disk into your computer and follow a few easy steps.(6) Done! Now let's go fire up the grill! And surf the internet on the back deck while we burn some chops. Cheers!

This is a nice router -- plenty of hard ports and two usb ports for printers and main data systems that are otherwise able to stand alone.This actually is a simple connectivity: power down modem, hook up and power up router, then power modem back up -- finaly, install disk into computer and follow set up instructions.NOTE: you must have a computer to set up -- a consol type device will not be sufficient -- you will be best to borrow someone's laptop if you don't have more than a standerd game device.The 3 stars are for the price -- when you can get a computer these days for less than $400, a modem or router that costs more than $25 is actually too much -- I only got it because I was getting the magicJack plus that required a free net port to give me phone access for $30 per YEAR. My thinking is that if I were buying a router, I may as well ensure I can add remote storage and printing options as well in time.
