belkin vs moster brand; which is better?
1991211
I purchased the Monster based on local availability and reviews at a local retailer. It was my first experience with a tape adapter. The sound is very tinny. After I turned the treb down all the way and the base up, it was tolerable. I'm now looking to try a Belkin. IMHO my Garmin fm transmitter is better than the Monster adapter.

I bought the Belkin, and it worked perfectly fine! It was at a good price too. I have no experience with the moster (monster?) brand.

I've only used this and a fm transmitter. This is clearly better than the fm transmitter. That's all I got, sorry.

you should have no issue what-so-ever. companies obviously like you to buy their brand and the recommended brand routers for their usb sticks, but you should have all the basic functionality of your Belkin Router intact and running at very good speeds. I've owned the stick for quite a while now and it's an excellent bargain.

I am not an expert concerning routers, however I found the WNDR4000 N750 to be weaker than my old Belkin so I returned the Netgear and continued to use my Belkin.

That's a great price, even used. The one I purchased NEW failed in 10 months, but Belkin promised a free replacement as soon as they re-stock. It's a very good unit when it works! Can't help you re the cable question, it's a very common cable so it wouldn'tset you back much even if you have to buy one. Try your local thrift shop, they always have a box of old cables cheap.

I know of no indicator of any kind. My request to Belkin for information about this product has thus far been unanswered. Sorry.

You probably already made up your mind by now, but if you haven't I think you should just pick between this one or the Belkin 2.1 amp/10 watt. The older Belkin (1 amp/5 watt) is practically useless in terms of its USB ports (way too underpowered for today's devices). &#10004; Keep in mind that the Belkin 2.1amp is split between the two USB ports (i.e. combined they can output 2.1 amp, and if both are used simultaneously then it will be less for each port). So you can charge a tablet at full speed if that's the only thing plugged into the USB ports, or two devices as slower speed. &#10004; Also know that the Belkin is also a "surge protector" so you have protection against surges, while the Monster strip is simply a splitter. &#10004; The Monster strip is rated for 110v-220v. The Belkin is technically rated for ONLY 110v (US), BUT reviewers have state they've successfully used it internationally. I have the older Belkin and am also having trouble deciding between this Monster strip or the newer Belkin (2.1 amp). If you need/want the surge protection then the Belkin is the only way to go. Otherwise the smaller size of the Monster strip is nice, but it's bright blue light can be annoying (but you can tape over that). I'm also considering getting the 4 outlet version of the Monster strip and just forgoing the USB port (since it's only 1.5 amp). Really a judgement call at this point. Hope this helps.

I've had both. The first one was a belkin and it was touch and go. The TIVO works much, much better.

If you're familiar with Belkin entry level routers its about the same. I live in a two story house with solid concrete walls. The router is downstairs and I get good signal on the side of the upper floor above the router. On the other side of the upper floor I have to use a repeater.

I had a Belkin router for years and had no trouble with it. When I switched to Cox, I had to reboot the router around 5 times a day. It was in another room from the computer and was a real nuisance. Cox suggested a new router. I bought the Netgear router a few months ago and have not had to reboot once since. That is the only obvious difference to me.

My local Costco has the 60st30 for $1199 (plus 2 year warranty) so I am most likely going for that for bang for the buck. If I can get the 65st30 for $1499 or less I'll go for that. I expect to make my purchase in 2 weeks max.

I started a discussion on another string about this topic. Best Buy's is a UL50AG-RBBBK05. Boes BBB stand for Best Buy? Anyway, Cnet reviewed this model and liked it except for its speed, which strikes me as geek-head complaint. As the last poster said, the RBBBK has a DVD/CD drive, which is essential, and is a very nice machine, but too large for me. Does anybody know if ASUS makes the exact same machine with all the same specs but just in a smaller (13.3) size, WITH CD/DVD drive? Sony has one, but way more expensive and no HDMI. Advice?

I've never used a Belkin surge protector before, but I would definitely recommend the HP. I've had one for a while now, with 8 different items plugged into it, and have had no problems.

Yes it is. It's a little bulkier than the Belkin I have, but it works and fits great.

Go to Belkin.com and look at what they have. This one works great, don't have to reset much. High speed etc.
