The setup for this router was extremely simple. Plug the device into a power outlet and Modem, boot up your computer, toss in the included disk, follow a few instructions, and you're set.
During the setup, a Router Monitoring program is installed. This gives you quick and easy access to options should you wish to access more advanced setings. It is not necessary if you stick to the default.
I had previously attempted to setup a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, which was highly recommended to me by friends who have used it successfully. After nearly pulling out all my hair, I ended up returning the device. For some reason the wireless signal would not detect properly. I returned it as recommended by Buffalo support and tried another. Same issue, so I sent the second back as well.
From there I went with a D-Link DIR-655. It took some tweaking and manual channel switching before it would work, but at least it worked.
After hooking up the Belkin N150, I was amazed to see that, after following the setup instructions, it was up and running! I successfully connected my MyTouch 4G phone, iPad 2, and Gateway laptop. I didn't have to tweak anything. Oddly enough it also had a stronger signal than my D-Link DIR-655 (which has three antennas). All the devices gave me 4bars at the farthest location in my house, where the D-Link DIR-655 often moves down to three or lower.
Out of curiosity, I checked the internet speed between the Belkin N150 and D-Link DIR-655. The D-Link DIR-655 gave me a download speed of 7414kbps with a 1417kbps upload speed. The Belkin N150 gave me a 8785kbps download speed with a 1140kbps upload speed (I used the integra Telecom speed test and have Comcast as my internet provider). This tells me that their internet speed is pretty much the same, as the speed tests in general tend to fluctuate a bit.
One negative about the Belkin N150 is that the LAN ports on the back are only 10/100 whereas the D-Link DIR-655 is 10/100/1000. That said, for the price, I was extremely impressed with the Belkin N150 and will be recommending it to friends and family who are looking for a good buy.

It's a fact that the USA has the most Obese people in it yet at the same time I see questions on here about "am I hot?" Or "which toned body do you prefer on men?" The answers to those posts baffel me at how shallow a lot of people really are. Is personality and chemistry really not enough anymore? What the hell am I missing? Why are people so shallow these days?
BalasHapusThroughout history, civilizations across the globe have dreamed up thousands of gods and religions. How do you know that Christianity isn't just another faith made up by men in the endless evolutionary cycle of world religions?
BalasHapusMen under 6 feet do well in the breast stroke, but seem to fail at the power strokes. What would it take to develop a short sprint champion in free or butterfly?
BalasHapusMy theory is that Gangnam Style will hit 1 billion views and then the world will just blow up! What do you think will happen?
BalasHapusIf you currently view the world predominantly as a Christian (or Naturalist/materialist or Platonist or Buddhist or Muslim or Communist or Feminist, etc) and use it as the standard by which all other things are to be understood, and had to change that, which approach (or ideas or set of ideas) would make the most sense to you?
