A lot of router for the price but with a caveat By Damodar Chetty Updated Sep 06, 2011: Other users have confirmed the issue of permanent authentication with this router. A workaround is to enable its self healing feature, to force a nightly reboot of the router. While this does not fix the issue, it does reduce the time window during which this vulnerability will exist.This is definitely a lot of router for the price. Its feature list reads like a dream: # Dual band networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz)? Check! # Guest network for visiting friends? Check! # Support for standard features like port forwarding, MAC-based security, MAC address cloning, wireless security, etc.? Check! # Support for advanced features such as Dynamic DNS services (dyndns.org), or Quality of Service (QoS) manipulation? Check! # Ability to exercise parental control by tailoring access schedules and allowed URLs, giving me super-Dad powers? Check! # Support an external USB drive? Check! Serve as an DLNA-compliant server? Double check! # Ability to turn off all its router functionality and function as a barebones Wireless Access Point? Check! # Unique aesthetics with lots of power saving options? Check! (unless you prefer your router lit up like a Christmas tree). # A generous 2-year warranty? Check!So what bothered me? ############### [1] The implementation of administrator security seems a bit flawed. The router authenticates a user based on the IP address of the computer you are using to log in, and the admin password you configure.Unfortunately, at various times in the past 8 weeks, admin authentication has failed to kick in. This allows any computer that had ever been authenticated to this router, to access the admin screens (and view any wireless passwords in clear text) without prompting for the admin password. Even the default 10 minute inactivity timeout for admin authentication is ignored when this happens. The only "fix" is to reboot the router. After the third such occurrence, I returned the router to Belkin for investigation.See my uploaded screenshot for details (a link is in the Comments below). Notice that admin info is being displayed even though I did not provide an admin password. Also note that the header says "Login" (it should say "Logout" when you are authenticated).I suspect that the "self healing" option (defaults to ON) masks this problem for most users by periodically rebooting the router.[2] Unlike my Netgear WNDR3700, this Belkin N600 did not support DHCP Address Reservation. This is a feature that lets you reserve a given IP address for a particular device (such as a wireless printer or security camera) on your network. Without it, a router reboot could assign a different IP address to your device, requiring you to adjust its properties to get it back online. Some devices can be configured to request a particular IP address, but address reservation is a lot simpler.[3] On the admin console, the SSID and password are on two separate pages, and each change needs to be committed before making the next. A commit requires a reboot of the router, which kicks you off the wireless network![4] Any change to the router settings takes 40 seconds to apply. This is perilously close to Windows reboot times![5] The router setup software did not work well on one of my computers. See the "additional notes" section below for an easier way to setup this router.Conclusion #######This is a good value-for-money product. It is built well and is fairly stable. I was able to stream video to my PS3, and was able to connect with very decent range on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz network bands.My favorite router is the solid Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR3700. However, given that this N600 costs about a third of what the WNDR3700 retailed for when it was first released, and that it costs about half as the WNDR3700 today, I am very impressed by the value that this
