Is Belkin gigabit powerline firmware rev. 2.0 the answer?

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 [...]

Belkin gigabit powerline adapter firmware upgrade "increases the bandwidth"

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 [...]

Belkin Gigabit powerline network adapter – Tech support lame

I bit the bullet yesterday and upgraded the firmware on my Belkin gigabit powerline adapters.

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 [...]

Initial tests of Belkin Gigabit powerline adapter – mixed results

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 [...]

Belkin gigabit powerline device – yes, I found one.

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 [...]
