...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.

THE ROUTER ITSELF One thing I quite like about the router is that it looks quite... Read review
