Questionplug or notTo extends Router life,Can I plug the Router's power supply into a live electrical outlet only at the time I want to connect?
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No...leave it plugged in. Powering down and then powering up takes more out of your router than you would think.

QuestionWill this work with all my devices without additional harware requirementsI will be running a Dell Inspirion 1525, Asus GX70 laptop, a wireless printer, PS3 with wireless connection and a Blu Ray player that streams wirelessly as well. (but has built in wi-fi). will this router handle all of that without needing additional cards for the laptops? The streaming player cuts out every once in a while and I have to restart it.
Asked 14 years ago by lmwarner70.
- Answer Yes the Belkin N600 will work fine. You will only need additional cards if you wish to use the Dual Band feature of the router, otherwise it is fully compatible with all B, G and N300 wireless adapters. Regards, Belkin Support

QuestionIs there a limitation on the size of the USB attached hard disk?I have 3TB WD Elements that is not recognized by the router although it's formatted with NTFS on Windows 7. Found multiple evidence on forums that smaller disks are recognized while the larger are not.
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer To comment on Belkin support answer: The problem seems not to be with the partitions, but rather with the router not recognizing GPT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table) and can only work with MBR (which is 2TB limited). If that's true, then regardless of how you partition, you will not be able to go beyond 2TB which is MBR limitation. The solutions is rather simple: release new firmware which has the Linux kernel recompiled with GPT support. Otherwise you must state this limitation upfront and reimburse the customers who spent their money buying this router and useless hard disks.

QuestionCan I use this to get a second wireless network in my house?I currently have a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 cable modem and wireless router in my basement. I have two wireless devices on the first floor that have a weak wireless signal. I would like to increase the speed of their network and their internet connection. I am thinking of buying Belkin Powerline Adapters Video Link 3 to install a Belkin N600 Dual Band Wireless Router in the upstairs of my house. I have several questions. Will this allow me to set up a second wireless network on the first floor and must it have a different ssid and password or can it have the same ssid as the wireless netowrk in the basement. If it has to have a different ssid, will it have the capability to access the internet and files on the downstairs computer? Finally, will the Video Link3 in the basement give me two more Ethernet ports downstairs and 2 more Ethernet ports upstairs

QuestionDoes this work with my Virgin Mobile Broadband /Device?Will someone let me know if this Wireless router work with my Virgin Mobile Broadband-To-Go device? If not, will you let me know what will,,,,Please and Thank You
Asked 14 years ago by Chevylane63.
- Answer No, this router will not work with that device. You need a 3G Router, something with the ability to accept the data through USB not ethernet. I believe Cradlepoint makes a router for mobile networks.
  I would recommend:
  - CradlePoint - Wireless Router - IEEE 802.11n

QuestionDual band questionI have recently purchased the N150 router for my parents and it works great so far. The only problem is that they also have a 2.4 Ghz cordless phone system and the N150 is causing interference with cordless handsets. I know that the N600 is dual band and also operates on the 5 Ghz range. With the N600 can the 2.4Ghz frequency be turned off so that it doesn't cause the interference with the cordless phones?
Asked 14 years ago by tx5150.
- Answer Yes, you have to log in to your router and change the settings there. Be sure that their computers can pick up the 5GHz signal though. Not all of them can!

QuestionConnection Issue?The Surf, Share and Play models all have bad feedback regarding the internet connection being lost, I've had experience with the Play Max and it lost the internet connection within the first few hours of me booting up the new boxed router. Those routers also had bad reviews regarding heat problems as well as other but they didn't affect me. I can only vouch from experience that the play max had major connection issues/dropping connection and also heat issues. Could you please confirm from testing, firmware releases, customer reviews etc. that this new range does not have those issues. I'm looking at the F9K1103 router but may opt to get another one within the new range. Could you please assure me that the new range doesn't drop the internet connection and the modem itself doesn't heat up? Thanks
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer All I can do is answer from experience. The only connection issue I had was attaching an external hard drive to the router. As far as heat goes, I'm not all that sure. Mine sits in a loft with a number of other electronics and I haven't had to troubleshoot anything up there (so good sign?).

QuestionWill this router work with basic Time Warner ethernet internet?
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I would say yes. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with the basic internet speed. The only problem I would see is if you have multiple people using the net your speed would slow down greatly. Along with video streaming or gaming online will eat up a considerable amount of bandwidth.

QuestionRange and Connectivity Questions?I am moving to a new house with a reasonably large backyard. I have a number of wireless devices that I would like to be able to use in the backyard. If the router is positioned near the backyard, but inside the house, will I be able to get the signal through the exterior wall?
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This depends a great deal on what's running through that exterior wall. I found that moving my router to a different place along an Interior wall seemed to have some interference at the new spot. possibly because of wireing or materials in that wall. Also the best results with this router are going to be within 50 feet of the router. Though you can get a some what reduced signal from further. I took my phone, which uses a wifi connection when ever it can find one, and through one exterior wall I was still getting a strong three quarter strength signal at a full 100 feet from the router. I hope that this helps.
