Belkin support in Malaysia

That should do it. People who Googles ‘Belkin Malaysia’ should reach here and actually get somewhere, instead of jalan mati by calling Belkin’s phone number.

Call AVF at 03-7783 3010
http://www.avf.com.my/contactus.asp
Address: No 14, Jalan 4/152,
Taman Perindustrian O.U.G,
Jalan Puchong, 58200
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I can’t paste the bl00dy Wikimapia map here. Stupid WordPress can’t seem to recognise html codes. It only accepts its own codes! It’s just like Apple+Steve Jobs — trying to take over my brains. Ciput!
So here’s the link to Taman Perindustrian OUG map in Wikimapia. [Note: You can't come out from KESAS(Lebuhraya Shah Alam) to Jln Puchong [B11 & E5] on that junction next to Tmn Perindustrian OUG — it is a fly over, it’s not an entry-exit junction.

AVF is the distributor of Belkin products in Malaysia. Ask for Jack. Even he himself told me that Belkin’s toll-free line is useless. You want to claim warranty –> Jack; you want 1-to-1 exchange –> Jack; you want to RMA –> Jack; you want to check your device –> Jack. AVF is located in OUG Industrial Park, off Jalan Puchong. I’ll post a map later.
(The above info is correct at the time of print)

Stupid customer service of Belkin. Belkin’s customer service in Malaysia is non-existent. They only have a toll free line which will route (pronounced root, not ra-oot) your call to another continent (India? Philippines?). The CS representative will take down all sort of details about you and the product and confirm with you so many times that you begin to wonder if you just called a survey agency. It’s d*mn irritating. Then they will promise you that tech support will call you soon. How soon, only god knows. They were supposed to call me 3 weeks ago.

To Belkin…
If you can’t provide support here in Malaysia (I wonder why, since you do have an office across the bridge in Singapore), at least guide us to someone who can! List contact details of the official distributor of Malaysia (which is AVF). At least we know who to deal with when the Wireless G Router (pronounced rooter, not ra-ooter) goes bonkers. Your stupid CS rep don’t even know the distributor of Malaysia. Come on… don’t you train them properly? And your tech support still have not called me yet!

    Hi there,

    I agreed with you. I am having a belkin wireless router modem and have problem since i bought it half year ago. I am not sure what is the problem but the picture always hang when i make a Windows Live Messenger video call (the problem doesn’t exist when I use ZTE modem provided by Streamyx. I tried to call belkin customer support but….as what you said, nothing happen and the problem still remain. So now, I still using my ZTE modem after spending nearly RM300 on the useless device.

    I’m damn regret of buying this most stupid ass hole Belkin wireless router modem (sorry for vulgar words bcos i’m really angry n irritating), I hv to ON and OFF it few times argggggggg, sometimes up to 6 times before i’m connected to the internet, but the thing that really make me mad is it will suka-suka disconnected and then hv to do the steps again.

    It also has problem that you can browse the net when LAN connected and sometimes you have to dial in using the dialing box. I tried to reset the button at the back of the modem and apply the factory setting but the problem still the same I have to ON & OFF few times. I borrowed my friend other brand wireless modem router i don’t hv this problem one time str8 connect, and before that i use Telekom’s DSL modem(rosak) also only one time connected.

    P/S : Because i buy this wireless router modem :-
    1) Lifetime warranty
    2) Recommended by few PC magazines (next time sorry i wont believe what they write)

    My advise stay away from this BELKIN go for other brand.

    Thanks for this link. I really hope they can solve my problem. When i first bought my wireless AIO, it was ok. But after sometime and i want to do a new setup, i can’t get a connection. Why don’t they just make it simpler like what Aztech does?

    Tomorrow i will call Jack. I hope he still works for AVF…

    Yeah… agreed. my belkin also got off-on off-on symptoms with wifi and i dont know where to go for support as the death-toll as you mentioned doesn’t response… but now my new linksys solved the trouble. Salute for your hard work by raised the issue in here.

    P/s: According to http://www.tfd.com
    1. route = pronounced ‘root’ in both british and us (http://www.tfd.com/route)
    2. router = pronounced ‘rooter’ in british and ‘ra-ooter’ in us (http://www.tfd.com/router)

    Thanks for the info.

    Yes, all I can say is Belkin wireless modem is lousy. Network cable dropped off 9 to 10 times a day. After dropping off, cannot access the net even after switching on and switching off. Wait for several hours then can access the net again. Maybe Belkin not tropicalised for Malaysian weather. Using airlink now, (an unknown wireless modem in Malaysia and also not tropicalised for Malaysia use) bought from the US and no such problem.

    Most technology companies with products sold in Malaysia via direct or even just a distributor. The principle (product manufacturer) always seem to miss out MALAYSIA!!!

    Even in certain pull-down menu options in websites forms, you can find Singapore, but you won’t be surpised that Malaysia is not in there.

    Is this country that insignificant to be bothered with additional info…for us users here locally (Malaysia) ?

    Didn’t know that they were so inefficient with the toll-free line. I was going to call them but lost the little black card. Everything works fine until I wanted to secure my belkin wireless connection. Then status went : Validating Identity. I will try to call Jack. You’re the man. Thanks for showing me the right route! :) You are a good human router.

    Router pronounce as ['ru:tə(r), 'raʊ-] , it does sound like ‘raa oo ter’ instead of roooter

    • July 17, 2009 at 2:38 am

      ‘ru:tə(r) is pronounced as ‘rooo-ter’. This is the British pronunciation.
      ‘raʊ- is pronounced as raa-oo

      The British pronunciation is the original and correct one. =)
      The American pronunciation is due to corruption by immigrant who can speak English. It’s the cacated version. X^D
      And I can never understand why ‘rou-’ can be pronounced ‘raa oo’ in the first place. Even pronouncing it as ‘ro-uu’ would make more sense. LOL!

    yap….i also got a problem for the belkin. When i take back my belkin to the shop where i buy to claim the warranty. Then the worker say my router is fine, the problem is about the power supply (adapter) and they say cannot claim……wtf!!!! life time warranty just cover the router only.

    • 23 Ibnu Asad
      July 21, 2009 at 11:05 am

      Errr…the warranty should cover the whole package. I just went to Taman Perindustrian O.U.G to change the adapter/plug (power supply) last month… It’s better if you go to Taman Perindustrian O.U.G… just bring the whole set…no need to bring receipt if you don’t have or misplaced it…

    I BOUGHT A SET BELKIN HI-SPEED USB 2.0 7-PORT HUB FROM HARVEY NORMAN-MARKETING SDN. BHD F3-LV11 IKANO PC JALAN PJU 7/2 PETALING JAYA UNDER RECIPT TRANSACTION 72109 DATED JULY 18-2009 SERVED BY (1077) SYED AHMAD IDROS CASHIER NURUL ATIQAH. UNFORTUNATELY THE AC ADAPTER MODEL AD 1805E INPUT 100-240V-1.0A 47-63HZ OUTPUT 5.0V-BELKIN IS NOT WORKING. I BOUGHT THIS SET IN PETALING JAYA BUT I AM STAYING IN TAIPING. COULD YOU REPLACE THIS ADAPTER ASAP? THANK YOU

    • July 28, 2009 at 2:31 am

      Ong Chin Choon dude,
      You don’t have to put all capital letters with no punctuations. Are you an IDIOT or what?! How to FREAKING READ what you’ve typed?!

      In case you don’t know, Belkin doesn’t read this blog. Neither does AVF. And I’m not a reseller/distributor/service centre, I’m a user… just like you. Didn’t read my blog kah?
      Do yourself a service & call AVF.

      What the heck is wrong with all these people nowadays?

      I had my AC Adapter die on me recently.
      Went to shop where i bought it – completely hopeless money grabbing fools they were. Just interested to misinform and try to sell me an adapter costing RM120 !! (“Oh thats what our supplier charges us loh”)

      No thanks.

      Went to MidValley for something else, and wandered into a PC shop there. He didnt have the adapter buut was very helpful and told me not to waste my time ringing 1300 number, and ring Puchong direct.

      Puchong (AV Future Link) told me come over with Router and Adapter. In 30 seconds he exchanged the adapter for me.
      This is 200% top class customer service.
      Thank you AV Future Link

    O-o-o-my o-my the bl*sted promoter! 1-4-1 exchange! Life Time Warranty! and I still don’t know what kind of HELL is coming my way (Sorry Frank). I NOW really feel like an Idiot as I just bought a Belkin N150 Modem Router and (O_M_G!) a Belkin “Surgemaster” surge protector during the last PC Fair, looking for a bargain! Some previous fairs ago, I also bought a Wireless G USB Network Adapter which I tried to connect and IT JUST DID NOT WORK! I can”t wring Jack’s neck just yet but you can bet your last RM, I will be heading to Tmn-Per-O.U.G! Ha ha ha ha ha I’m going to laugh @ meself silly for now, Dude! Thanks iamyuanmu!

    Sound like Belkin’s common problems are poor services and poor quality power adapter.
    Now I think I prefer D-Link.
