I bought this last year to access the new wireless router in the upstairs hall of my block of flats, and although the signal was very weak, the adapter generally managed to find a signal and function normally, whereas a friends laptop was incapable of doing so from the same position. This was about 10 metres from the router, down a floor and through several walls so I am quite impressed. I currently use it in my home, again a floor away, this time through two sets of double glazing and a wall, and it still finds a signal. The USB extension cradle is very useful, allowing adjustment to find a good signal. Sometimes gets quite heated when left on for a time, but not a real problem. A very good product, although not too cheap.
Advantages: Flexibility, desktop stand, usb cable length, compatability, range, speed Disadvantages: Shear size, Heat Buildup, Ugly as sin, Belkin Software unsurprisingly doesent work
...of configuration, and regardless of what belkinnetworkadapter it is. Windows all the way i'm afraid.
Vista Users should note that it works very well, but you need to use the drivers that came on the disk to get it to work.
The G+Mimo means that speed is kept constant at 54mbps and doesent fluctuate. The range is excellent, and I have no issues whatsoever with online gaming or web browsing.
The unit gets hot though. Very hot. Not enough to actually burn you but I'm wondering what this will do to the devices longevity.
All comments about looks and size aside, it works very well, and is reasonably priced for what it is. Newer users will find it overly confusing having to use the built in Windows wireles configurator rather than the belkin software (which simply put isnt going to work) but on the whole it is easy enough.
Supplied desktop stand comes...

...This is really a follow up to my previous review on the BT voyager 2100 wireless router. In that review I mentioned how I had a laptop and desktop computer to connect up to the router. Luckily the router came with a PCMCIA card which I think is suitable for just about every laptop now. The laptop I hooked up is 5 years old and had a free slot. With the laptop painlessly out of the way I then had to connect my desktop PC which is probably the best part of 10 metres from where the router sits and round a 90 degree bend and (potentially) 2 doors closed.
This box was very plain and simple. The front showed the adapter and a bar graph to show the coverage you should be able to achieve. All this showed was that "G" gives one bar inside a house, "G+" gives two bars inside a house, "G+MIMO" gives three bars in a house and "N1 MIMO" seems...

Advantages: Easy set up, good range and speed. Disadvantages: Too large for real mobility. Too much packaging
...I was converted from internet sceptic to true believer about three years ago, when I first signed up for AOL’s dial-up service. But it was only a few months ago that I took the plunge and signed my life away to broadband and entered the world of the external modem/router with wireless capabilities (a rather simplistic little box provided by AOL free of charge). In itself, this little box of tricks was easy enough to use, but I always thought that it would be great if I could get both of my computers (desktop and laptop) working together, using the same internet connection, so that I could work downstairs as well as in my study. So, about a month ago, I bit the bullet and bought a networkadapter for my laptop.
In fact, the one I chose was the BelkinG+ MIMOadapter, which was handy, as it makes the rest of this review much more...

I bought this router from PC World for £29.99 about 3 months ago. (I also bought a new computer from PC World - so the manager used her discretion and reduced it from £44.99)
