      Seems like a weird purchase. But it was cheap, I guess.

          Yeah, something fishy about that statement.

            Not really. It’s consumer products and they are actually well-made hence premium products.

              What well made Belkin products are out there? As consumer products go, they seem to be pretty low end. Not horrible, but low end. Like they were Linksys' discount line for a while.

                Still not buying one... well, until something drastic changes. They'll remain on the NOPE list.
                In my experience they have always had cheap (as in junk) reputation.

                  Yeah, good power strips I guess, but junk gear for IT.

                    Of course, and consumer gear is not IT gear.

                      Very true. But Belkin has LInksys which has many times tried to claim to be IT gear.

                          I had a Belkin Home Router years ago. It was solid. Nothing fancy but solid. A basic router. Sometimes that is all you need.

                            @penguinwrangler Yes mine had a nice led screen on front with different views for bandwidth, wifi clients, time, etc. But it never got updates.
