My wifi signal drops alot and strength goes from high to low while the router doesn't move at all.

Is there an explanation other than Belkin routers being completely ****?

Any brand to recommend when I bin it?

I bought a Netgear router a few months ago and had similar signal strength problems. Half the time neighbours routers were giving higher signal strength…

A bit of googling revealed a very split set of review feedback 50:50, with 50% thinking it a great router, 50% thinking it unusable. In an "inspired" moment I decided to read the manual – and that recommended changing the defalut wireless channel setting if there were other routers nearby causing interference. Changed channel and the thing has worked fine ever since.

RTFM 😉

Yep, your problem smacks of channel overlap, do what he said.

I have had the Belkin Pre-n router for about 3 years and it's superb.

Download "Netstumber" and check if there are other wirless networks causing interference in the area.

It will show you which chanels they are using and you can then pick one thats free.

The drop outs are probably where your router is auto switching channels to avoid the interference.

lol too late

THANKS CHAPS.
