Hey Friends
I'm posting this thread as i'm interested in knowing the performance of belkin n+ modem router wireless, in g mode with intel 3945 abg and in n mode with intel 5300/ 5100 (or any other cards). People facing any kind of problmes are welcome to share their experience also people who are satisfied are also welcome to post their experiences with the make of their cards they are using.
Thanks n regards

otherwise I am very happy with my N router.

 

can we add the issues faced by intel's 5100 series and the Belkin N1 (F5D8231-4)

 

please guys...this 5100 is a piece of ^#%$&^#%^&# no wofo N heck the WIFI G sucks do bad, that my wife's acer 150D with it's atheros ...blitz the 5100 on access to internet, NAS and copying/moving data from the NAS

 

You want me to share how crap my Belkin Wireless N router is?

It's not that the connection drops out, or has low signal, but it just stops. It's a problem with the router. The connection resets, all the time. I can't download a damn thing with, since it will always just stop. Hell, even web browsing is made difficult by this thing. Sometimes pages won't even load. Signal isn't great. Hell, I can't even get full signal from one end of my house to the other, and it's only about 15 metres (meters for you Americans).

My PSP will only get signal if it's actually sitting ON TOP of the router.

Does anyone know if there is any way to stop this thing from resetting my connection all the damn time?

 

Have you tried updating the firmware? Belkin has a bunch of N routers so I'm not sure which one you have. The one I had, has a bug in the firmware which would incorrectly say that the firmware it had was up to date. I had to go to Belkin's website and update manually which solved my constant disconnect problems.

 

My belkin N+ works wonderfully :S

 

I have the black and silver one, with two antennas, and the blue lights on the front.

Edit: Model number is F5D8233-4 v3.

Will try a firmware update soon.

 

Lucky you...

EDIT: Just updated the firmware. Guess what. It didn't do damn thing. Would disabling the firewall help?

 

hmm that sounds like the one I have... what wireless security are you using? I was using WPA2-PSK with a very long password (63 characters), shortening it could help, it solved a problem I had with another router... Disabling the firewall or wireless temporary might help, but it's no long term solution...

 

I'm using WPA2-PSK as well, but my pass code is only something like 15 characters.

The firmware update seems to have made it able to sustain connection for a longer time, but it still cuts out. It just lasts longer now. And the firewall doesn't matter for me since I don't go on sketchy websites or torrent anything.

 

Try using WPA2-AES. That worked on my D-Link and it's been stable for over 2 months without a reset.

 

Well, I'll tell you the settings, because as far as I know, it is using AES.

Security Mode: WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)

Authentication: WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK

Encryption Technique: TKIP+AES

 

Running 802.11n in 2.4Ghz can have a whole slew of issues, especially if you intend on connecting existing b/g clients. Even if you setup a seperate b/g only network while adding a 2.4Ghz 11n connection you could still easily have problems. If you turn off mixed mode on your AP, you will have lots of problems with your existing b/g clients. If it's on, you won't realize a noticeable improvement in performance with n-clients.

11g was never design to truly operate in the 2.4Ghz while expecting higher throughput, especially while staying backwards compatible with older b/g clients. There really isn't the available bandwidth and channels for that spectrum. It's also quite vulnerable to interference further limiting performance. You really want 5Ghz for 11n.
