Belkin Wireless G Plus Router Review Summary

The community is decidedly divided on the Belkin Wireless G Plus Router. Our population of reviewers has mixed feeling about this diminutive router; while one reviewer praised the wireless router, stating that “Right out of the box, this router is easy to set up using the software (CD) included in the box,” another mentioned that the router’s range was insufficient, and should be avoided in two-story homes. The 2.4GHz Belkin Wireless G Plus Router offers 802.11B/G wireless connectivity as well as (4) 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports and offers both WEP and the latest (WPA/WPA2) 64-bit/128-bit wireless encryption security protocols. Read what our reviewers have to say about this router as well as the Apple Airport Extreme Wireless Router and the Linksys WRT54G Wireless G Router.

This is a dependable router for a great wireless connection

NOV

When I set up the wireless connection in our current house, I had to go through the process of purchasing both a wireless device and a router to get it all started. The router that I went with was the Belkin Wireless-G Router with a 4-Port Switch that was on special at the local Best… read full review »

Small package but powerful transmitter

value conscious

FEB

2008

Having been a co-designer of this technology age, it is quite EASY to configure and to Operate but the surprising fact is that the signal has a larger Penetration capability than the normal distance which one would expect. I estimate the distance is almost an eighth of a mile. more than the 400 ft distance one would expect as its range. — Though the Wireless-G version work well it IS an improvement on their past products... — For under $40 it is well worth the expenditure... — REMEMBER its a 4 port Wireless Router which is a Firewall and a 4… read full review »

When I first purchased this wireless router to connect to my dsl router, I was confused. I immediately called the Belking support and they walked me through every step making it easy to set up. I haven't had any problems with this router, but I'm sure if I did I would get the same great support as I did in the… read full review »

The Belkin Wireless G-Router is definately priced right. However, the funcionality and dependability are not quite so great. As soon as you install it, you will have internet but it will consistently crash until you can get your firewall re-configured. Also, if there is alot of phone usage in your home, it interferes with the signal. — Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the software to work on my pc. I have re-installed the belkin software 5-6 times (each time I did this I had to reinstall my network card as well) and it works for about a day - then malfunctions. I've even… read full review »

I just purchased the Belkin Wireless Router G the other night because I am expecting a laptop today and want both computers set up together. When I got home and opened up the box to install it, I was disappointed because the manual and the cd were not in the box. Looks like the box had previously been opened, and I purchased it at Walmart. My first experience with calling customer service was a nightmare, I ended up in some country where they don't speak English very well and the gentleman didn't understand me very well either. He kept telling me that customer service would send me out a cd… read full review »

This is a cheap inexpensive way to get online but it has some issues when used with Windows XP if it ever gets unplugged. It is a very average product. Not great but not horrid. If you are looking for a router for a computer that is never going to be disturbed, moved, bumped or used by kids, it's fine and you can't beat the price. However, my kids are always running around, bumping into it, and my husband is always changing and upgrading our system which creates problems using it. —… read full review »

I purchased several of these routers and set them up for customers with great results. The router is small has a good range and js easily set up. I do not use the cds that come with the router since I have been setting them up since before they included install discs. The range is very good but it still is dependent upon the enviroment. Things like microwave and lots of wall will decrease the range. All in all a good router I purchased for under $40 a very good… read full review »

This product worked for about 3 or 4 months. Now it won't work unless we reboot the computer, unplug the router and modem and turn everything off, then on and plug it all back in again. — Then it'll work for about 6 hours before it does it all again. — My neighor (3 houses down) has a Linksys router that routinely will provide internet access for my computer, while my router won't from 10 feet away. — I wish I would've shelled out the extra money for the Linksys router. —… read full review »

If you need to set up a wireless networking system in your home, this is the way to go. Easy to install and set up, even for a first-timer. Excellent value, especially if you compare it to how much it would cost to have the cable company install it and then pay extra for monthly service. I defintely trust Belkin networking products and would not hesitate to use them again in the… read full review »

I bought this router when I got my wii. I set it up easily, and it worked for a whileand then when I had issues with it I called customer service. I had trouble understanding what the man was saying and he acted as if the problems were my fault. I ended up getting frustrated and I ixed the problem myself.

This product is very easy to use and set up. Basically just pop in the CD, run the program, then plug in the router. Step by step directions were so easy to follow. It works great for simply needing the wireless in the house. The product was priced great. Less than $25. It also is very compact and takes up very little… read full review »

Needed to go wireless and wanted to do it myself. — Easy and fast set up.
