I've had mine since 7/28/13 and have not regretted buying it even once. No problems whatsoever in that time. Might be the first router that I can say that about over a year later.

Nope 2 1/2 months but have used with DSL and U Verse and excellent performance.

Keep in mind that any piece of electronic equipment can and will break.In my personal experience, I have had my router since Feb of 2013 and I can tell you that it works perfectly for me. No issues.

I bought two about 5 months ago and have not had any problems. Perhaps the problem is with your router.

I would say it's a big improvement over the Cisco b/g/n router it replaced, and although it's still not as strong as I would like it, the speeds are noticeably faster and devices aren't dropping off at all like they were before. Compared to the reviews of the other routers that are out there now, darn good bargain for the speed, connectivity, and signal strength improvements. Your results could vary depending on the construction of your housing but I saw improvements for my house which is 3200 sq. ft.

I have had the router for several months and it hasn't dropped once. I am using WPS as my encryption. I had issues with a prior router dropping almost daily but that router was 10 years old. I would suggest calling Belkin customer service.

it's been a while, but I had all kinds of problems with this router until I updated it with the dd-wrt firmware. Since then, it's been great, no issues with my PS3. hth

Yes, I use the router at my place in N MI where there is no wireline high speed Internet. I just went month to month on the data plan to see how it would work. If it did not work. I could sellthe device and cancel the data plan. Have had it two years and love it. I manage the deployment of cellular networks for a living, so I am very fussy about performance.

I am currently with an Asus router and don't seem to have issues. I've got with a Linksys router issues, but have no idea what to do. Didn't have issues with Trendnet router as well

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

I did, but I had a Belkin router previously for 3 years.I don't know if that made a difference.

They advertise six months. I've only had mine installed two months and so far have not noticed any decrease in performance

Yes, it is worth it. This router is fast and reliable. I have been running with the merlin firmware (version 3.0.0.4.270.26) for three months now with no issues.

I bought mine in January 2013 and it worked with mostly no issues up until around February 2014, then it started dropping the Internet, the LAN, and the Wireless. I sent logs to their tech support and they suggested RMA. It has a two year warranty, so I got an OK to RMA it, but, there's no advanced replacement plan available, so it has to be mailed into them, then I have to wait to get a repair or replacement back, which to me, is not acceptable.
