...in the garden, then you shouldn't have any big connection issues (dropping connection etc) due to its proximity… unless you live in a big house with a big garden of course. You should check Belkins website to make sure this router will provide the coverage you need though as I wouldn't want to just assume it would for the purpose of this review. It also means that my dad can use my connection from his house next door if his net ever goes down (although he'd need me to give him the security password which I shall talk about below) as our network shows up on his laptop when he's reconnecting to his home network haha. This also reinforces the security aspect that I will address in a few moments as you don't know who else can pick up your network on a wireless search within your area! Setting up was relatively easy, connect all the wires... Read review

...Having bought a new Dell laptop nearly six months ago, I felt I also needed something to rest it on when I'm online and want to sit on the sofa or one of the armchairs and this cush-top looked ideal.
