Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had this router for a while now (longer than I could return it for a refund).Very often I cannot connect to web sites that I frequently use.Eventually I did some research and found that this router has a fatal defect - its DNS cache will get corrupted over time.The latest firmware from Belkin does not fix it.
When I initially had problem accessing web sites, I naturally assumed that the web sites could be down or my ISP could have problems.One day when I tried to VPN into my office the VPN could not be connected.I tried to ping my office VPN server and the IP address returned was different from the actual IP.My VPN server was on xx.xx.xx.84 but the PING request indicated xx.xx.xx.4.I then used NSLOOKUP to check various DNS servers, and pin-pionted the error to the Belkin router's DNS cache.
The DHCP server in the Belkin router automatically sets the DNS server address to be those provided by my ISP plus the Belkin's own IP address 192.168.2.1.There is no way to get rid of it.If there is a way to only use my ISP's DNS server the problem could be worked around.Belkin does not provide this option.
The DNS cache corruption problem will cause a lot of mysterious connection problems.If you are not familar with TCP/IP networking technology there is no way to find out what goes wrong.Shame on Belkin to release a product with such a critical defect.
