{NOW CLOSED} Back to School Giveaway: Belkin Play Max Wireless Router #wingiveaways

By: 951 Comments

The Belkin Play Max Wireless Router is the one stop router service for your entire household. Well, I’m not a techie, it was quick and easy to set up for home use. We upgraded to the Belkin Play Max from a almost seven year old router so it was time for some new technology.

First of all, set up was a breeze. The Belkin Play Max Wireless Router is configured for quick set up with a network name and password already assigned. You can customize these settings if you would like. This router comes pre-configured for security settings. However, I drive around town all the time and can access other’s home internet networks, which can drain your own system or even worse, someone could be committing illegal activities using your IP address. Just know that Belkin makes this very easy for users to get it configured correctly.

For us, the Belkin Play Max Wireless Router is going to prevent us from having to upgrade to a wireless printer. Why? I was easily able connect our current printer to the router via USB and allow all the laptop computers in the household access to the printer. It even installs the drivers for the printer automatically.

Another cool feature our old router did not have was guest access. You can give your household guests a  log in page when they try to access a web page where they will enter in a pass code. They will not have access to your internal network just the internet.

There are more techy aspects like dual plane antennas, Dual Band N Technology for more reliable speeds, and bit boost, which can allow you to allocated priority to select data streams. The Music Mover app will allow you to move your digital music files throughout your home and play from your computer to a device like a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.

If you have a back up drive or external hard drive, you can also connect via USB to back up important photos, music, documents, and more. If you are backing up your memories often and you will if you have it set up to back up on a regular basis with the Memory Safe app, if your computer hard drive crashes you will not lose important family memories.

It is well worth the $129 to purchase the Belkin Play Max Wireless Router be able to configure wireless internet, wireless printing, and back up your important files.

Would you like to win one of these for yourself? Belkin is offering one lucky Bargain Briana reader a Belkin Play Max Wireless Router.

  59. Aside from the user-friendly quick and easy set-up, we most definitely would be thrilled about the wireless printer feature. Right now our house is a maze of easy to trip on wires extending from room to room to connect to the one central printer. It’s a nightmare!
