Belkin N1 Wireless Router

Belkin N1 Wireless Router

Review

The good: The Belkin N1 is extremely user-friendly, with an idiot-proof setup guide and an impressive network-status display. And it still leads the pack with its service-and-support package.

The bad: Though the Belkin N1 performed admirably for having only the mixed-mode option, it still fell well short of expectations for 802.11n networking equipment.

The bottom line: With its easy-to-grasp status icons, up-to-date security options, and stellar support, the Belkin N1 router is on the path to 802.11n wireless networking stardom, but like other Draft N devices, its performance fails to impress.
