Belkin F5D6130 Wireless Network Access Point Review

I was trying to use it as a range extender, but it seems to be uncompatible with my SMC7004AWBR router. I was able to set it up fast as an Access Point, it immeadiately signed me up and started to exchange packets, but I wasn’t able to reach my router so I had to take it off the network.
I also tried to make it work with my xbox to put my console online but wasn’t able to do so either. So, if you are trying to use it to turn a wired network into wireless this is it, this is what you need, otherwise I hope you can succeed in what I couldn’t.

Great WAP for the price. – M. L. Beitz – Reading, PA
This was so easy to set up. I like the management software. I use MAC address filtering and it works great. I liked it so much I got one for my neighbor and would recommend it to others. I have used it with both cable and DSL. I have mine hooked up to a Cisco switch which is attached to a Trendnet router which is attached to my cable modem. I am very pleased with this product.

Broke within two weeks – G. Sutula – League City, TX
It worked wonderfully for two weeks using it to browse the web and moderate downloading, but when I tried to transfer a 1GB file over my network, it developed a 23% packet loss that has persisted since. Presumably it overheated, but what a waste of if I can’t use my device without it breaking.

Belkin F5D6130 No web user nadme and password – Al E. Robinson – Buffalo NY
Works great out of the box. Problem is you can’t configure it using the web based interface. You need the wizard…that’s a problem the manual is worthless. Everyone withing a 500 radius of you will enjoy their “free connection and bandwidth” and that sucks.
