By Doug Mohney, on May 26th, 2010 Tom’s Networking has done a review of the Belkin Gigabit Powerline HD with the latest firmware revision, 2.0.
I’ll confess my pair of Gigabit adapters have been gathering dust because they didn’t play well with the 85 Mbps Netgear Powerline bridges I already have in the house, so I’m looking forward to upgrading [...]
By Doug Mohney, on July 15th, 2009 Last week, I sent an email into Belkin technical support asking for more information on the firmware upgrade for the Gigabit powerline adapter (F5D4076).
Today, about a week after I filed the tech support request — hmm, maybe the company and Verizon share customer values — I received a response. The firmware upgrade “increases [...]
By Doug Mohney, on July 10th, 2009 I bit the bullet yesterday and upgraded the firmware on my Belkin gigabit powerline adapters.
Now, I’m not quite sure what it fixes, because Belkin’s support page doesn’t say and the firmware upgrade is labeled beta. I emailed an inquiry earlier this week to Belkin tech support– it’s been at least a couple of [...]
By Doug Mohney, on July 6th, 2009 Hello! Belkin! Hello!
I have been encouraged by my more recent speed tests with the Belkin gigabit powerline network adapter, but the company is still playing catchup in terms of its support issues, me thinks.

By Doug Mohney, on June 30th, 2009 UPDATE: Belkin has issued a firmwire update for its Gigabit powerline adapter — but it is beta and there are no release notes telling what it corrects.
I’ve had a chance to test Belkins Gigabit powerline adapter on some other machines and platforms in the house… I’m beginning to think that some of the [...]
By Doug Mohney, on June 30th, 2009 UPDATE: You may want to check my updated testing of the Belkin Gigabit powerline adopter here.
I’ve had the Belkin Gigabit powerline adapter(s) in service and testing for about 12 hours and they may be going back to Best Buy in the next 24 hours if preliminary testing holds up; I may exchange them [...]
By Doug Mohney, on June 29th, 2009 It looks like I’ll have to take back my snarky Tweets about Belkin not shipping its gigabit powerline device. While advertised as available “immediately,” the Belkin PR peeps said I could find it at Best Buy.
Since I worship, er go to Best Buy on a regular basis, I ran down to see what [...]
