Advantages: Wireless Internet
Disadvantages: None

...The Belkin Wireless Notebook Card is a good product. the card is only for LAPTOPS not for computers. the good thing about this product is that just say your in your bedroom or in your kitcen or maybe in your garden you can use the internet without any wires and no hassle at all. but you have to remember you need to have a belkin wireless internet network to make this product work for your laptop. I have my very own Belkin Wireless G Notebook card and it runs as fast as when i use to have an ethernet connection i.e. cable internet connection. When i bought my newtwork card it cost me £25.00 but on ciao they are giving you a really good price for it so i recommend buying the product. if you have any questions please let me know and i will be at assistance Hope I Was Useful Thanks For Reading...

Advantages: Advantages: Cheap, all in one solution
Disadvantages: No manual overide or audio support

...It's surprising how many people have more than one PC at home although even more surprising is that many of them each have their own screen, keyboard and mouse. In many cases this makes perfect sense but sometimes, you know you'll only ever use one or the other - perhaps one is your general PC and the other your music workstation. In these situations you can save a lot of space and money by investing in a KVM switch. KVM stands for Keyboard, Video and Mouse and allows you to use one keyboard, mouse and screen shared between two PCs. This particular unit from Belkin is unusual in that it comes with all the leads permanently attached instead of being supplied as a separate cabling set. Wiring it Up Installation is simply a matter of taking each of the two main cables and plugging the sets of leads in to each PC. The Belkin KVM has USB... Read review

Advantages: Quick and easy to set up
Disadvantages: Video may get interference

...I've had this KVM switch for a number of years now, since my previous one only had two ports. I found this one fairly cheap somewhere. You're supplied with all the VGA and PS2 cables for each of the 4 connections. You can then plug these cables into your computers. The button on the top allows for quick switching. But as well as using the button for switching between computers, you are also able to use keyboard shortcuts. These are pretty common in KVM switches, and belkin manage to do it the same way as everyone else. Great for people that are already used to using a KVM switch. The KVM switch has a useful beep, which can be helpful to understand when a command was received by the switch. The switch also has a port for plugging in power. This helps improve the quality of the picture as there is more power behind it. Most of the time... Read review

Advantages: Plug and Play
Disadvantages: Not worth the money

...When setting up a network in my house I wanted to share everything over a LAN and also split the broadband between the network. The initial problem I had was that the broadband connection to the hub has to be an Ethernet cable. This is not too much of a problem if you are using ntl broadband. If you are using bt broadband the modem comes with only a USB connection which you cannot change. Therefore the broadband could not be easily shared using the hub like I thought. The hub itself although quite stylish was large and oddly shaped and hard to accommodate in an already cluttered environment. It was however shape do that it could be attached to other belkin products in a quite nice and interesting way. Unfortunately if you don’t own any other belkin networking appliances the shape is pointless. When the cabling was sorted out... Read review

Advantages: Very easy to install
Disadvantages: More back of PC wires to hide

...Thanks to Belkin, I am now the proud system administrator of a large number of PC's.... 2 to be precise!! I made my original purchase of the Belkin home network starter kit from PC World with disastrous results (please see my separate opinion for PC World) The kit comprises of 2 10/100 Ethernet cards, 25ft of cable and all the software needed to make installation easy and painless. This includes Belkin 'Netshare' and Belkin 'Netsetup'. During installation I found it necessary to contact the company's product support help line due to the fact that I am sometimes a Pratt and occasionally find it difficult to read the simplest of instructions!! The technical support line was, for a change, a national telephone number and the call lasted only about 2 minutes. The person at the other end of the line was very human and promptly forwarded...

Advantages: For Blutooth Enabled Devices, 100m Range, Plug & Play
Disadvantages: None

...The Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter is very useful technology which you simply plug into your USB slot. I actually got this about 2 years ago because I wanted to transfer photos and videos from my mobile phone to my PC and I didn't have a mobile phone cable to connect to the PC. So this was ideal rather than purchasing a cable which would have cost the same, but with this I can use it for other Bluetooth enabled devices such as my PDA or Laptop. Main features: - Bluetooth connection capability via USB - Works with any device which is Bluetooth enabled - Has built in security using 128-bit encryption and authentication, allowing you to securely access any Bluetooth device without wires - Easy installation with Plug-and-Play convenience - Allows you to connect at a range of up to 100 meters The Bluetooth adapter is well designed; it...

Advantages: Good cable,
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

...Network cables are maybe not the first thing you think of when considering a network but they should be. You can have a super fast router but if your cable isnt up to it, then why bother. Belkin are the standard setters in the network cable world. If you want top quality then you buy belkin. So if your considering sharing an internet connection to play games etc then you really need decent cable. However, if like me you only share your connection for browsing and downloading, then you don't really need this kind of high quality cable. I personally have cable running that I bought for £2.14 for a 15m cable (that includes the connectors on the end). For internet browsing etc this is fine. In conclusion, if you need speed and low ping times then belkin is the way to go. You can even use the snagless cable to allow easier running... Read review

Advantages: looks, size
Disadvantages: cant handle large amounts of internet traffic/ poor backup

...Now that I had two PC's and wanted to share the internet connection I was advised to get a router. Not wanting the hassle of a wireless setup which I didn't really need. I went for the Belkin 4 port wired router. The unit looks quite attractive, and can stack with other belkin units as it has grooves and ridges to allow this. At first things seemed OK, Installation was pretty quick, and I could browse the internet, chat to friends over IM programs and talk on VoIP. However once I tried to connect to an online game, the problems started. After only a couple of minutes hte router would sudenly close the connection: not only the game connection, but everything. The only way I could restore any connection to the net was to restart, or even turn the router off and then on again. I searched through the ADSL guide which has advice... Read review

Advantages: small enough to be left in the computer ready for use.
Disadvantages: May give slow connection depending on pairing product.

...The Belkin bluetooth USB adapter is a must have if you have a bluetooth enabled phone that you regularly link up to a computer in order to transfer files. Instead of the use of unsightly cables to link up your bluetooth enabled products to the computer, this enables you to link them up through a wireless bluetooth connection. The Belkin bluetooth USB adapter is small enough to be placed in a rear USB port of a computer and left there so that it is ready to use whenever you require it. The transfer sending speed is quite fast however depending on the recieving speed of the bluetooth enabled products that you use this with, the speed may be a little slower. This is not the fault of the Belkin bluetooth USB adapter but rather the product recieving the signal as it is harder to recieve bluetooth signals then send them. The recieving speed... Read review
