Belkin F9K1123-RM AC1200 Dual Band AC Wireless Router (Renewed)

I'm super impressed with this router. I purchased 2 of these mainly for the price being so low. I put one in the basement and one upstairs so I would have a strong signal on every floor. Keep in mind the internet is everything in our house because the whole house is a smart home and we stream our cable through the net. Not to mention if the speeds aren't up to par my son will let me know pretty quick with his gaming love. So I connected these straight out of the box using cat7 Ethernet cable to both depending on the distance of cable you should be perfectly fine with cat6. I ran over 150' of cable and after making sure it's all hidden you can't always take a direct path to conceal the cable so I went with cat7 because of the distance and to ensure I didn't lose speed. After connecting these straight out of the box no configuring other than factory settings interested my speeds at around 30mbps so I wasn't real happy and decided to make these run strictly as access points for my main modem. This will bypass any extra firewall and security issues that may make u lag. Your main modem is controlling all this anyways. After configuring them as an access point I'm getting around 70mbps and for this area I'm more than happy with that and it handles all our needs. As long as u can place these in the areas u most need signal u will be fine I have noticed it doesn't send out the strongest signal ever meaning if I go to the third floor I'm lucky to have 1 bar so just something to keep in mind. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again and I have a friend wanting to add an access point in his house I've already recommended these to him u just can't beat them for the price.

This is no longer a cutting edge, state of the art router. However, it does feature some of the latest IEEE 802.11 and WiFi standards which makes it an incredible bargain at ~$19 when the original MSRP was ~$200! I cannot speak to it's long term reliability yet but Belkin has always been a dependable brand name for me. Although I haven't tested it for maximum throughput and range (just for one room so not too concerned about that), it was very easy to set up and is performing much better than the previous two routers. If it doesn't prove to be reliable I will revise my review accordingly but, in the month since installing, it has performed flawlessly with up to 6 devices simultaneously. I am very happy with it and, if I needed more routers, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another.

Just about plug and play. Security is already set up. Range isn't great, only downside. However, I'm using it at work where the walls are brick and steel. Would never know it was refurbished. Looks new.

Got this one as a stand alone offline router for a security system. Not as strong as my TP Link, but works just fine and was much cheaper.

Does the job in a medium sized home well. Has good speed and decent range. Value, reliable. I replaced a Belkin N router that has serviced me for 2 years with no trouble so when I saw this one with dual band, I made my move and upgraded. I recommend it after using it. Am also glad I did not spend hundreds:)

I read some mixed reviews about this refurbished router, but at $15.99 i figured it was worth a shot. I had it up and running minutes after plugging it in, and it has worked flawlessly for several months now. It is perfect for a 1 BR apartment, supplying signal for a smartphone, smart TV, and laptop.

Refurbished is not a problem. Plugged it in, hooked it up to my modem, watched it test my download and upload speeds, then set itself up flawlessly. Two weeks later and I think I made out like a bandit. No dead zones, no buffering, no glitches. I'd buy another one of I needed a router.

The router often drops signal and goes offline requiring it to be rebooted. I don't suggest buying refurbished WiFi routers... Pay a few extra dollars and get one with better range and productivity.
