Belkin N Wireless Modem Router - wireless router

Advantages: Reliable, Fast, Easy to configure, Lots of features, USB for sharing drives
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, Not full speed with every machine

...INTRO The Belkin N+ router is one of the higher end (consumer) wireless modem router offerings from Belkin. It cost me £85 from PC World, but can probably be found for a bit less if you shop online. The Cable version costs a little less. Reason I bought this one was because two PCs in the house with wireless cards kept losing the wireless connection when I was using a Linksys router (my own PCs / laptops were fine though!). I replaced that with a second hand Belkin, which worked fine but unfortunately, a power cut killed the wireless on it. Liking the performance of that cheaper Belkin router, I decided to stick with Belkin and get this one! DESIGN The router looks very stylish and stands up tall rather than laid down flat. It doesn?t appear to have been designed to be laid down flat like many other routers, which may... Read review

Disadvantages: Bandwidth Innacurate.

...; from the photos I'd seen of it, I'd always assumed it to be small (I should have really looked and found out the dimensions but I was so desperate to get it ordered as there was only one left in stock that I never bothered) but it's no problem really, just a surprise and I thought I should mention it to you as you may also be considering it and thinking it's a really small router. This router comes in both cable and ADSL versions so anybody on any of the normal ISPs should be fine to use one of them, dependant on what internet they are being provided, ours is a cable one. The router is a wireless N1 which means that the data transfer rate is up to 300mps over the network instead of up to 54mps which is what you get with standard Wireless G technology. It also has a wide coverage area which means that if you want to go and use your laptop... Read review

Advantages: Looks Great, lots of features, High speeds, Can connect to 16 computers wirelessly at once.
Disadvantages: Stand and back is made from cheap material, And Nothing else is wrong with it.

.... I give the design a 9 out of 10 simply because instead of the cheap plastic that they used for the silver colored parts they really ought to have used a nicer looking material. Speed It can go up to 300MBS which i have seriously tested and they are not wrong, it does go to 300 but if you use wireless it wont make a difference because you would need a Wireless N laptop card or an Wireless N Usb Dongle to reach full speed. The speed keeps fairly constant throughout its use and is perfect for any internet connection, i am currently on a 20Mb connection from Virgin Media, which has been criticized as being slow and unreliable but since i switched to this from my D-link i has been downloading at 2-Meg per second, and no speed is lost AT ALL. I give the speed 10 out of 10 as it doesn't seem to have any noticeable flaws. Reliability... Read review
