As the title says... I have a Belkin F5D8635-4v1 - and am having lots of issues with it locking up etc. I used to use Netgear routers, but went with the Belkin after a PCPro review - wish I hadnt! What should I replace it with?
I had a Belkin router, which I had nothing but problems with. I now have a Asus N13DSL router (Argos stock these) which runs great. No connection dropping etc. Cheers, Simon.
Netgear DG834N rev.1. It only has draft 1 N tech, no GbE, but it has an inbuilt modem and looks pretty cool. Shame that DD-WRT doesn't support routers with inbuilt modems, Netgear's firmware is lacking. EDIT: ^ That is what I have. Not what I recommend. If you have a separate modem, go for a Netgear Nxxx Gigabit. Just replace xxx with the model that has the features you want.
WNR-3500L /w dd-wrt It dosn't seem to have great gui dd-wrt support, but most of the stuff is still doable via telnet. I'm personally running 3 seperate vlans (one for IPTV, one LAN + WLAN and one sepearte w-vlan for my work laptop due to interferece with network shares when using VPN).
Using the same here, most solid router I've ever used, have not once in over a year have I had to reboot it, and wireless speeds are simply astounding. Highly recommended. Available for around £100-110 these days, but even at the £140 I paid for it on release, bargain. Did I mention I like it?
Billion BiPAC 7800N About a week old but a heck of a step up from my Netgear DG834PN. So far, money well spent. Rock solid performance, and robust features.
Linksys WRT54GL + high gain antennas. I've had it for nearly 8 years without issue. Cost upwards of $160 at the time.
I got a wrt54g and a E3000. The E3000 is pretty much useless before you install dd-wrt, that took around 2 minutes and made the wireless functional. The wrt54g is a classic, lots of mods are available for it.
D- link dir-655, great througput, wireless performance and range and also very stable. I have used many different routers and always had issues but ever since i got my 655 i have been completely issue free. It comes at a really good price as well, only downside is it wont run G and N at the same time, if you need that you will have to get a dual radio router such as the dlink 800 series.
Be Box. Possibly the worst router ever. Had a cisco model but it doesnt support ADSL 2+ so im with the Be Box.
Got a Linksys E2000 works a treat and fixed a fair few problems I had with the Virgin supplied one which didn't seem to like VPN. My biggest problem with ISP provided routers is where they remove the ability to upgrade them, unless you flash the whole box.
Linksys WRT320N with DD-WRT firmware. awesome gigabit router with 5GHz wireless N, problem is none of my devices have 5GHz wireless N. gigabit LAN plus QoS makes sure it never bottlenecks, never had lag problem when torrenting while gaming IPv4 DHCP doesn't work though a bit annoying. can't figure out why.
