WRT150N vs. Belkin N1 Wireless-N

How would the Linksys WRT150N compare with the Belkin N1 Wireless-N router? The Linksys has two antennae while the Belkin has three.

 

I'm also curious about this. I finally got a -N computer so I would like to utilize it. Is it worth upgrading from a -G system?

 

I'm asking because I'm still waiting for the Belkin to be delivered from Dell. It's on delay. I was wondering if I should cancel and buy the WRT150N which is only $10 more than what I paid for the Belkin N1.

 

I personally am not sure about the 3 antenna's to 2. But the Belkin n1 router
for me just did not do it. 2 replacements in 3 months. dropped signals, would work for a few days at a time. tech was just awful! nobody knew anything.
i passed the warranty. so they could only exchange it. no more after 2 of them. got credit from them! Then i realized i do not need an n router.
so the Linksys wrt54gl is great!

 

Cancelled Belkin order, purchased WRT150N... excellent router so far.

 

Belkin support is the worse I have even seen even I'm happy with My ADSL WLAN router F5D7633 over WAG from linksys because LinkSys doesn't support Range Extender for WAG yet.

 

I has an N1 and it was one of the best routers I ever used. I had an excellent signal all over my house and property. Setup was quick and easy and never needed to call tech support. My ex-wife kept it when I moved out and I haven't had the time to pick up a new one.

 

What brand?

 

Belkin N1. It was a great router. I was able to pick up a signal all over my property which was about 1 acre. I could go sit out at the property line (my fence) about 500 feet from the house and still got a strong signal.

 

The best N router Hands down is the WRT series Linksys Routers. Never had a single problem that wasnt caused by me

 

I'm experiencing intermittent connections with the WRT150N. Both wired and wireless connections go down once in awhile. But they don't go down in the sense that I can't see the router in the manager. I can see it, I can see it's signal quality, but I can't connect once I get "disconnected". And I get "disconnected" in the sense that the Internet just doesn't work, even though both wireless and wired connections still show an active connection. When this happens, I unplug my router and plug it back in. That seems to fix it until it "disconnects" again in a few hours.

 

Try reseting the router itself. Take a Ball point pen and press the reset button on the back of the router. This will however delete all your settings allong with your ROuters connection name and all settings.

 

I updated the firmware, did a hard reset, nothing worked. I tried lowering the MTU and that didn't work either.

I changed my security to WEP from WPA2 and it's been working for four hours straight. I think I might have something here.

 

I to did the same as you exept Ijust got the WRT54G, BTW I think the N routers and cards are very problimatic right now because they are still in the draft stages and there really isn't a standard for them from the ones ihave tried and the ones I have installed for customers.

 

I had a Linksys WRT300N v1 that was nothin but problems,
dropped links, etc, just like ATR90-nothing fixed it, and it eventually died completely-

So what I did was go to Wi-Fi Alliance and checked them out, and eventually bought the D-Link DIR-655:

here's the Wi-Fi Alliance list of Wireless N draft 2.0 certified products

The WRT300N v1 isn't draft 2.0 certified as of now, so if you do decide on that one,(which I'll personally never do again) make sure it's v1.1.
the DIR-655 is draft 2.0 certified:smile: and I'm extremely pleased with it.
No drops, no hassles, consistently 130Mbps, and it has gigabit ports for cat 5 too!!

 

addendum-

yup you need to have the router set to WPA2 for the best speeds.
WPA2 is the best available right now-don't use WEP
