Re: Belkin and Virgin Media

Belkin routers are junk in my opinion.

I do however have a belkin switch and that works fine but their routers I don't like

Reason being my dad had a one of their pre-N routers and it kept randomly deciding not to route HTTP traffic yet if you put an NTL proxy in your browser configuration then it would work...

It was defiantly the router since rebooting it would fix it and it never happened with his old router, It got fried in a Thunderstorm in the end, I think he has a netgear router now.

also had a friend who had a belkin ADSL router and the ADSL part of it decided not to work after a while....

Also had another friend whos belkin died when someone knocked it off the side (ok not belkins fault) he had a WDS bridge setup so to ensure compatibility he went out and bought another one of the same model number only to find it was a newer revision and they'd removed the WDS support.

Belkin seem ok for simple things like switches, usb hubs, powerleads.etc but their stuff that needs complicated firmware to run seems to be a bit iffy.
