Great Multimedia Wireless Router from Belkin

Advantages: Reliable, Fast, Easy to configure, Lots of features, USB for sharing drives
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, Not full speed with every machine

...and upload speeds despite this anyway. Only thing is, transferring files within the network isn't as fast as I'd like from my laptop. This router does boast it has the "Best" speed and coverage as opposed to the lower end routers in the range which only give you 'Good' or 'Better' speed and coverage so the lower speed on my laptop may be due to some sort of incompatibility. Wireless range is good though as I can get at least a good signal around the house. Don't know what the maximum speed is for this router but I'm guessing 300Mbits? Compared to the router that came with my broadband with BE, web pages do seem to download quicker. Wireless aside, the router also has four Ethernet ports so you could plug PCs and network devices in directly should that be convenient as wired connections are always more reliable. Speed may be about the same though...

Review of Belkin N+ Wireless Modem Router - wireless router

Belting Belkin Router!

Advantages: Fairly easy to set up, easy to use, reliable, looks good.
Disadvantages: Bandwidth Innacurate.

...We'd wanted to upgrade our router for a while to cope with Rich playing on his Xbox online mainly as we kept getting lag, which was especially apparent if I was also browsing the net (which I generally was) even to the point of Rich being disconnected mid game. He was getting annoyed with it so when we saw this router on offer at ebuyer.com for £69.99 (but has since gone back up to its previous price of £89.99); I jumped at the chance to get it and now we have it, I thought it was worth writing a review about, so here we are! My review will be based on my experience of the router, and not a full technological break down of what it is capable of etc as that is readily available online from the manufacturer and would probably bore most people to tears anyway. The first thing I notice when opening the box is how big the router is...

Review of Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Modem Router - wireless router

Linksys's Lightning fast wireless router

Advantages: Fast speeds, Reliable, Stylish
Disadvantages: I had wireless problems, Gets a bit warm, no restart router option in config

...stylish. It?s grey and black in colour and doesn?t have any external antennas. Only problem is that it seems to pick up dust. One thing I?m not very keen on is that it gets rather hot. Not to the point where it can burn your hands but I think that if it ran cooler, it would last longer in the long run. Either way, the router is very stable but may be a problem if you store it in a confined location. It has 4 ethernet ports for those whom have the router near their PC and do not want to use wireless. SETTING UP There are two ways of setting up the router. Easiest way for most would be to load up the CD on your computer, follow the instructions and configure the router step by step. Being the geek that I am, I go the other route and just log into the router by entering the router's IP address into my browser. Once logged in...

Review of Linksys Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway WAG160N - wireless router

Belkin N1 Vision MIMO Router

Advantages: Looks, Innovation, Ease Of Use
Disadvantages: Price

...I recently had the misfortune of having to swap my cable wireless router, I say misfortune as the last time I had to do it it took me nearly three days to get everything back up and running the way it was before, so when my Linksys router decide to stop functioning you can imagine my dismay. However when I purchased this product, mainly for the looks if I am to be completely honest, all my fears just fell away. The router is based in our main room, so has always been on show, but with this router I have no embarassment in showing it off. It does stand out and when you have it on the clock setting then it just looks like a very stylish digital clock, and whenever we have people round it is always the first thing they ask about. Setup: Setting up the router is so easy. Un pack from the box, plug in ethernet cable from modem...

Review of Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless-G Router wireless router

Router minefield!!!

Advantages: ease of setup,reliable connection
Disadvantages: not the fastest on the market

...When looking to go wireless in the computer world it is an absolute minefield when it comes to wireless routers/modems. I sat at my latop(tethered to the telephone socket with wires) scouring google for write ups about this router and that router when i came across this one. Now this is rated as being the best selling router/modem in the UK and has been for some time. I think i paid around £40 from ebuyer.com. I chose it because of the fact its reasonably priced. Its a good trustworthy brand and it seemed to come up to scratch on speed. Upon opening the box the installation was very simple indeed. I just followed the instructions that came with the router and hey prsto i was wireless on my laptop.Software is easy to install and self explanatory. Its not the fastest band of router on the market but for what i needed it was ample...

Review of NETGEAR DG834G 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router - wireless router

Excellent wireless router

Advantages: easy setup, works great
Disadvantages: None

...I had recently bought a second laptop for my wife and needed a wireless router badly so that both of us could access internet simultaneously and wirelessly. So i searched around for a decent reliable router. i came across this one and bought it from amazon for 30 quid. It supports 802.11b and 802.11g. It has 4 wired ports so that 4 computers can be connected simultaneously. It doesnt have a USB port. Setup : it came with the setup CD and it took around 15 - 20 mins. since it involves computer restart. I have a Virgin broadband connection so had to connect this router to the modem supplied by virgin. A ethernet wire is provided with this kit. Had no problems at all with the setup. The installation needs to be done with the computer wired to the router. Also configured the router settings after logging into the router...

Review of NETGEAR WGR614 54 Mbps Wireless Router - wireless router

Belkin Wireless Router gets top marks

Advantages: Self configurable, Web interface, Free Lifetime support, ease of use
Disadvantages: None

...connect to the router wirelessly, you need to have some form of wireless capability on your other device (desktop PC, laptop, PDA, games console, etc) I would recommend you install any necessary components on these devices first. When you have a device capable of receiving the wireless signal, you will need to configure the router. This is done via an ethernet link into one of the four wired network ports on the router. As the router and wireless card in your other device have no information about each other, this is a very important stage so make sure you have an ethernet (CAT 4) cable available otherwise you will not be able to proceed. Once you have made this connection, the router will self-configure with your Internet Provider. At this point, you could continue to use the internet with the wired access but, seeing as you have...

Review of Belkin Wireless G Router F5D7230-4 - wireless router

Low Cost Enterprise Security Firewall Router

Advantages: Powerful, Easy to configure, Good support, Low cost
Disadvantages: Needs extra 'modem' for each broadband Connection, Occasional reboots required

...DRAYTEK VIGOR 2950 ENTERPRISE FIREWALL The Draytek Vigor 2950 Enterprise Firewall is a hardware firewall and router aimed at medium sized to large businesses. I?ve set up and am using six of these routers at a certain company with offices around London and have been using them for a few years now and was done as an upgrade from the Draytek Vigor 2600 and 2800 routers that were previously in use. The reason for the upgrade to the 2950 was due to the VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection being slow with the previous models. This was probably due to the processor in the router not being powerful enough to encrypt and decrypt the data more quickly. The 2950 has a dedicated co-processor just for the VPN, so performance would be better. It costs around £320 but price varies from supplier to supplier. SETTING UP The 2950...
