    "MAC USERS: Stay away"

    by taaronnicholson on January 3, 2009

    Pros: This is a pretty device, and feels nice.

    Cons: Mac software is sorely thin, and updating the firmware crashed my computer and bricked the device.

    Summary: I have to echo exactly what Erik S. said. This device becomes a pretty paperweight after attempting to update the firmware when connected to a Mac. The update program sent my iMac into a kernel panic and after I restarted the n52te's firmware had been wiped as a result. Now I plug it in and I have a pretty blue brick on my desktop with a little green LED derisively blinking at me. The firmware will not update now, and the system will not recognize it when connected. This is a complete failure on Belkin's part and it should be fixed immediately.

    I would give it less than 1 star if possible, for alienating an entire community of users.
