Is Belkin bad

As in, the company drains it's toxic waste into playgrounds or their components are pants? ;)

I've used their cabling, and some usb hubs in the past why having problems?
 
Everyone will have their own story.

I've had 3 Belkin multisocket plug bricks explode in the past. They were supposedly the best they had to offer, not entry level gear.
As a result I no longer buy Belkin products.
 
I had about 3 of thier routers and they all blew up, and I knew of about 3 others that did as well, I deffo wouldnt buy any routers of thiers again!
 
Their stuff is way overpriced for the quality in almost all places, especially high st stores. The routers are unstable and buggy, and KVMs aren't much better. cables so far that i've had have been fine, but way too expensive a retail price, i've only ever bought them at trade price.
 
I've owned 1 Belkin wireless router and it worked without any problems at all.

Some of their components are good, buy they are way overpriced.
 
I had a Belkin wireless access point and PCI wireless card. Both were awful and unreliable and ended up being replaced.
 
I've had one wireless dongle which randomly stopped working and now another exactly the same working perfectly fine
 
Ive had a dodgy router, which I stamped into the ground. Which I did enjoy!
Bluetooth stuff is poor, wireless keyboard and mouse was poor.

However, I have a couple of cables, and although overpriced, would happily buy again. I would never however, recommend hardware/peripherals nor buy them, even if there was nothing else available.
 
There are a lot of horror stories. They used to be top dogs of the home networking but they seemed to cut a lot of corners and I have heard far more bad than good.

Especially the F5D series of routers seemed to be the last nail in the coffin for their repuation IMO
 
What do people think about the other supermarket brand, Trust? While their products feel cheap, I've had some great mice and keyboards from them...

They're cheap. Cheap and quality rarely go hand in hand, but they are cheap.
