What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.7 for now.

What owners say about the Belkin AC750

Based on 64 owners sharing their experience in online comments

27%positive0%mixed73%negative

Owners appreciate easy setup and stronger signal, but many report unreliable connections, frustrating installation, and disappointing speeds.

What owners dislike

  • Owners say setup often fails: the manual or app is wrong, the device is never found, WPS does nothing, and some took hours.10
  • Owners see speeds far below their plan, with some getting 30 Mbps on a 100 Mbps line and others 1 Mbps once it heats up.8
  • Connected but no internet access6
  • Owners say it keeps dropping off the router, and after a power cut it must be set up again before the internet returns.5
  • Owners say the 5 GHz band is weaker than 2.4 GHz at range, and signal reaches only about 15 metres, not the 100 feet claimed.5
  • Owners say the light keeps blinking and the extender never connects or shows its network, even when plugged in right beside the router.5
  • Owners report it works for a short time, then stops after days or months; one found a failed capacitor on the circuit board.3
  • Owners say 2.4 GHz stops working, 5 GHz drops out, sometimes after a firmware update or when the unit heats up.3

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Belkin AC750

  • Simple and quick setup process, often completed in minutes
  • Affordable price point offering good value for a dual-band router
  • Reliable signal strength and coverage for medium-sized homes and apartments
  • Compact and sleek design that fits easily into small spaces
  • Stable connectivity for multiple basic devices simultaneously
  • Useful features like a dedicated guest network and parental controls

What customers don't like about Belkin AC750

  • Occasional lag or performance drops when many high-bandwidth devices (like consoles) are used at once
  • Compatibility issues reported with some older hardware or specific ISP equipment
  • Range may be insufficient for very large homes or buildings with thick concrete walls
  • Limited advanced customization options for power users
  • Single status light can make troubleshooting and diagnosis difficult compared to multi-light displays

Verdict

The Belkin AC750 is a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) dual-band router designed for basic home connectivity, offering combined theoretical speeds of up to 750 Mbps across its 2.4 GHz (300 Mbps) and 5 GHz (433 Mbps) bands. Key technical features include four Fast Ethernet (10/100) LAN ports, one WAN port, a single USB 2.0 port for basic file sharing, and internal antennas that support up to 32 wireless clients. Its primary advantages are its budget-friendly price point, simple browser-based setup, and slim, vertical design that fits well in small spaces. However, significant drawbacks include its reliance on outdated 10/100 Ethernet ports rather than Gigabit, limited 5 GHz range, and potential performance lag when handling multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously.
