Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - Thank you, reviewers (and Amazon)
This isn't so much a review as a heartfelt thanks to the earlier reviewers who explained about having to put the router's MAC address in as bridging information (we had put in the address of the repeater instead). I had spent ages trying to figure out how to get the set-up to work and this is the only place I found the information I needed.
As regards the device, it seems to work fine but the set-up instructions for extending the network could be clearer!

- We'll never know if it would have worked
Maybe this product is terrific at what it does, once configured.My experience with Belkin tech support, the documentation, and the firmware was very, very bad.After 24 hours of frustration, I finally returned the WAP.Then I spent an hour recovering my original configuration.
Note that if you are trying to use this device as a range extender, you will probably be interested in the Super Secret "range extender quick start guide" on the Belkin support web site.It's not included ... Read More

- difficult to configure with other routers from the manual
as an extender with a different router brand, the product was difficult to configure without any instruction material for other brand routers. I finally configured the extender using the "wireless" MAC address of the router in the bridging section like the previous reviewer. It took me a while to figure out that I was using the wrong MAC address. I almost thought I would have to return the extender or sell it. I thought I would write this to save any of you some time. the extender is working great ... Read More
Rating: - F5D7130 works fine with Linksys WRT54G
Just got the Belkin F5D7130 and was about to send it to trash cause seemed to work *only* with Belkin routers...but then I found out how to make it work with my WRT54G.
As stated in the F5D7130 manual, you need to set up the F5D7130 MAC address into your Belkin router in order to use the F5D7130 like a range extender, since you cannot do this in a Linksys router, I tried the inverse...just loaded my Linksys MAC address into the "Wireless Bridge" configuration section of the F5D7130..and ...

Rating: - Setup for range mode to expand your wireless connection
Belkin know of this problem but will not post fix on web they want you to spent and hour on hold with a customer service agent reading the updated manual to you. The product is great but there instructions are the worst. Then again Linksys range has similar issue when setting them up. Another issue on there site they brag about WPA secuity it contain but don't tell you that wep is only support in range expander and not WPA.
Follow the documentation but just add these simple changes. ... Read More
