| Product Reviews from Amazon.com (Rating System 1 to 5) |
| Review | Rating | Last Updated | exceeded my expectations
I bought this card as an upgrade from my belkin 802.11g card which I had been using for 2 years. The single-antenna wireless G card had worked well, but the signal definitely could've been a lot stronger.
In spite of the fact that the router in my house is an old wireless G router and is located on the floor above me, this wireless N card by Belkin has drastically improved the signal strength.
Installation was no problem with my XP operating system. I had no software issues what-so-ever.
I do have to admit, however, that the connection between the antenna and the card is a joke. Mine has not slipped off yet, but I am left feeling disappointed over the lost peace-of-mind from not having antenna connections that are screw-on like those you would expect to see on a quality adapter.
And, yes, like that which has been mentioned in other reviews, the length of the antenna wire also leaves a lot to be desired. But, despite the lack of options for antenna placement due to the shortened cord, I am having no signal reception issues. Again, even though the router is on a different floor and is a wireless G that was purchased 3 years ago, my connection speed is far better than what I had been achieving with the wireless G card I was using just prior.
I am sorry to read so many complaints about this piece of hardware that has really improved the connectivity of my internet connection. I honestly would very much like to see those people experience the level of satisfaction that I am deriving from my purchase of this product.
It almost leaves me wondering if perhaps I am not getting the performance that I should be getting considering what I paid for this product. How is it that so many people could be so disappointed with a product that to me seems to work pretty well?
After all, I am by no means an especially computer literate person. Amongst my peers, I have historically been the least technologically adept. Is ignorance bliss in my unique case? Or has fate furnished for me one of the few Belkin N1 Wireless Desktop Adapters that actually does what its manufacturer claims it will do? | 5 | Today | Crapola
First the connection between the card and the antenna is a joke. A horrible design that easily disconnects. Second, even with the current Vista drivers, I can't get the think to work. STAY AWAY! | 1 | Today | Dosen't work with Vista
This item has yet to prove its worth to me. it dosen't work with Windows Vista, even with the new driver from belkin, and it dosen't work that great with xp. I like Belkin and their products. So i'm going to hold on to it, and hope they create a fix for it.
UPDATE:
with the vista sp1 update and the driver upgrade from belkin that just came out, i have a rocket ship on my hands. the fastest internet times i've ever seen. i love it.
it's still hard to keep the antenna plugged into the card. any shift and it will fall off. but other than that, wow. super wow. windows update also has an update for the n1. | 2 | Today | Belkin N1 desktop--don't bother
Why no negative stars? I purchased this because I had upgraded my wife's old XP machine to a new one w/ Vista and Vista did not recognize the Belkin PreN adapter (its not compatable.) I spoke to Belkin about it and was told the the N1 would work even better than the PreN. Installed it and performance was way worse. Spoke to Belkin and was told to disable firewall, which I did and performance went up a bit but still very poor. So bad that I bought a new Dell that had XP on it and put the PreN adapter in. Performance is at least 3x better. I am selling the new HP computer (really giving it away) to a friend. I am really disapointed with both Belkin for the N1 and the Microsoft for Vista. | 1 | Today | Complete Garbage
This product is complete garbage. The antenna connector frequently pops off. I never even get 802.11b speeds from this card, even though the computer is the same room as the Belkin N1 router! My Intel a/b/g laptop card works from anywhere in my apartment with no issues. This card cannot keep a connection for more than a few minutes. The wireless network utility is worthless. It crashes whenever I click the "check for upgrades" button (nice touch). The other people were right, if you MUST use this card, use the Windows XP Wireless Zero config and remove the Belkin overlay software.
Buy anything else. | 1 | Today | Who writes the instructions? Who reads the directions?
If the people at Belkin would first try to install their products according to the instructions they supply, they would rewrite the directions and eliminate most of their problems. On the other hand, if the customer would read the Specifications before they purchased, their problems would be greatly deminished.
Belkin uses a reversed polarity SMA cable connector on it's wireless cards and therefore it's antennae. Read the specifications of both the card and the antenna before you buy to reduce stress. | 3 | Today | Garbage
I bought the F5D8001 from a Frys store last night. I picked it over the competing Linksys and Netgear cards because it was $10-20 cheaper and it's antenna is more compact.
What a mistake.
When I opened the box and removed the antenna, the first thing I noticed was how short the wire is. In fact, the wire is barely long enough for me to run it from my computer to a windowsill directly above the computer.
Secondly, the connector for hooking the antenna up to the card gives no indication of whether or not it is firmly connected. The connector simply slides over some threaded posts, as opposed to other brands using connectors that screw on until firmly seated.
Third, when I placed the antenna and tilted the three small antenna masts, one of the plastic hinges broke, leaving the mast hanging from the wire inside.
Lastly, the range is awful. It is slightly worse than the 80211 G PC card I have for my laptop, when placed in the same spot.
Bottom line: What a piece of junk. I'll be returning it when I get a chance. | 1 | Today | Worst tech support I've ever encountered
The drivers for this card are clearly not fully compatable with Windows XP. With both my original card and a replacement sent by Belkin, the operating system repeatedly crashed. Belkin tech support has been the worst I have seen in over 20 years of owning PCs.
If I ever get this working, I'll consider amending this review, but I don't have high hopes. I've had it for 7 months, updated the drivers each time a new set has been posted. Belkin assured me from my first call that there were no problems with their drivers, but they have put out two new sets of drivers since then. Why redo something with no problems? Now they have come out with a version 2000 card to replace the version 1000 card. There are no enhancements with the new version, so why replace the old one? Seem like the only reason is that the version 1000 cards weren't consistantly working. Belkin denies it, but offers no explanation for why there is a new version. And the version 1000 cards are still being sold and shipped by Belkin as replacement parts. | 1 | Today | Avoid this product
I bought this card along with a HP tower with Vista. After following the installation instructions, when the computer should have gone to the new hardware wizard, it instead freaked out and scrambled the screen -- over and over and over again. After after hours on the phone with Belkin I got nowhere. I then put it in my Gateway tower with Home XP. It came right up and works -- but not well. The thing actually interferes with Itunes (yes I know it sounds strange). I'm not playing these songs over the wirelss either, they are on the same tower! The music will slow down in spots and it gets a crackling sound and feedback over the speakers. Turn off the card and it all goes away. Find something else! | 1 | Today | Works with the N1 Wireless Router
This three antennae desktop wireless card works with my N1 Wireless Router. Never a dropped connection and I think is looks 'cool'(sorry I'm a product of the 60's and it's ok to say 'cool'). Very satisfied with both products.
