What's great about it: easy set up, now everybody is happy about the WiFi signal at home
My modem and router are at the top floor, since there are 3 interior floors inside my house, the lower level's WiFi signal has always been very weak. I have tried TP LINK and even Netgear WN3000RP, but still had dropped signal all the time.
After searching the web, I realized that since I have a N router, a DUAL BAND WiFi Range Extender might be able to solve my problem. Between Netgear WN2500RP and this WN3500RP, I chose the later one due to its ability to plug into the wall power outlet directly.
Secure set up thru WPS connection is so easy, and now I am getting very strong and steady WiFi signal from every level every corner at home.
This product has... Fast connection, Dual band, Reliable connection
I would recommend this to a friend!

Light is blinking red and I was thinking it usually blinks blue? I have reset and unplugged

I have another brand, Netgear WN3500RP Dual-Band WiFi Range Extender which works extremely well inside my large 3-story house, unique feature of this Netgear is that there are 2 separate status lights for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. So if either one of the lights stays solid green, then I know I am getting strong and steady WiFi signals through out my home.

According to Belkin user manual http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/MAN_F9K1106_8820-00923_A00_Dual-Band_WRX.PDF, a blinking amber (or you think it is red) status light refers to bad connection between the extender and your router, so you need to move the extender closer to your router. Looks like your Belkin only has one integrated status light for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Even though Netgear WN3500RP costs $30.00 more, to me, it is a better choice.

By the way, do you have an N router that is capable of dual-band as well?
