It has really good signal strength but better on the 2.4Ghz than on the 5Ghz. This is normal characteristics of 5G anyway. I personally found that Location of this router is critical for signal strength. I was disappointed with it at first, but after I played around with it and moved it closer to where my wireless clients are it improved hugely. You really need to locate it away from metal objects and sources of interference and if possible have it within line of sight if u intend using the 5Ghz network.
And DD-WRT makes it even better

Just an update on the Belkin 'Share' and using with Windows 7 64-bit including printer connection.
It arrived today as promised, and installed really easily, with no need to use ethernet cable.
. No paper manual, but I had found it online before buying, which was handy.
One or two glitches while the router 'settled down' to recognise the connection
, and I had to add the Opendns settings manually, but I expected that.
(search for opendns in Boards.ie if you want to find out why I use it).
The only problem was recognising the printer. It seemed to do be connected, but nothing would print, even when I connected it directly to the laptop with the USB cable, and I couldn't add a port. :mad:
Then I found the heading 'networked and USB devices' by right-clicking the router icon (having seen a screenshot in the manual, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to look). There I found that the default setting for the printer was to 'connect manually'. :rolleyes: I changed it to automatic (or always on, I'm not sure) and there I was - all sorted.
I came downstairs and connected the ethernet cable (prefer more bandwidth for Skype) and all worked ok.
I've just disconnected that, and its still 'excellent'.:D
I'm happy with my purchase.
However, if anyone bought this item thinking that they could simultaneously connect a printer AND hard drive, by just using a USB splitter, I can confirm that it doesn't work. It sees the hard drive first, and is confused about the printer.
One thing I noticed somewhere in the settings is that the router has an option of 'self heal'. this means that at a frequency you decide yourself, the router will power off and restart. Having had to do this manually in the past, on my old router, I'm happy with it, but it could be the cause of 'problems' that other people noticed, if its doing it too often.0 -
