...Bring the Internet into the comfort of your own home. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- After a few years of daily accessing the Internet from home, you begin to realise how much that corner of a dark room where the telephone-line enters your home really isn't the best place to sit doing it... Pictures in the glossies of people sitting on their deck in the garden, or relaxing by the river, laptop open with unfettered access to their files back in the office help break the myth that you need to be where the Internet is to use it. Why not bring it to you, be where you want to be and make it follow you? Cue the Belkin N1 Wireless Modem Router (with MIMO), Part # F5D8631uk4a, EAN/UPC 7-22868-59630-2.

Disadvantages: bigger than it looks on the box

...bit of kit hanging on the wall in the soon-to-be-studio... achieved admirably with the procurement of a new wireless modem router (of which more in my review elsewhere on Ciao). Step two was to sponge a PCI-based wireless card for the PC off eBay as cost-effectively as possible, based on the experience gained hooking the kids' PC up to the USR using a Linksys WMP54GS (also recounted on Ciao elsewhere). Sadly, whilst the WMP54GS upstairs, two walls and a floor away from the ADSL entry-point in the studio, worked brilliantly with its shiny new wall-mounted adoptive wireless modem router downstairs, my second-hand WMP54G off eBay refused to hold on to the signal well enough when the Dell was on the desk, and failed completely when it was positioned in its intended final location under the desk in the new "study". Cue the Belkin N1 Wireless... Read review
