Belkin Rack shelf (ventilated) Black

Advantages: Great wireless range, Futureproof, Nice looking, Fast!
Disadvantages: Some may say it looks a little chunky

...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.
