 Belkin Trumps Linksys in My Book January 6, 2009
I've been through Linksys G and N wireless setups and have always been relatively disappointed with their range and throughput. Even when using Linksys PCMCIA adapter cards, my speed tests were sub-par and sadly, customer service knew less about how to configure the router than I did.
I purchased this Belkin after getting Linksys download speeds of about 4 MB down, and 1 MB upload speeds on a boosted-speed cable connection. After installing the Belkin (which was a snap), my first wireless speed test rendered 20 MB down and 10 MB up, which rivaled my wired speeds I was getting on my desktop machine.
I've always had good luck with Linksys wired routers but their wireless products (and customer support) are abysmal. For anyone looking to run an easy, always-up wireless N network at home, this purchase is a no-brainer. Worth every penny spent - only sorry that I didn't make this purchase a long time ago.
 Compatibility issues January 4, 2009
While I'm getting good range and speed with my N laptop and some 802.11b and g devices, my Blackberry Curve 8320 can't even see this router, unless the router is set to it's b/g (no n) compatibility mode. Worse, my Belkin Pre-N equipment can see it, but sees no signal strength, and can't connect, regardless of the compatibility setting. This is a very poor upgrade if you have existing Belkin Pre-N equipment. I'm running my old Pre-N router in access point mode as a work around while I wait to see if a firmware fix comes out for this before the return period expires.
Beyond the compatibility issues, setup was easy, especially considering the router's web page is little changed from the Pre-N router's. Speed for my HP laptop with built in N wireless is at least 15% greater at identical range, as compared to the Pre-N router, and perhaps more, as I was near maxing out my cable connection.
 OK with N card But!!! January 3, 2009

Works ok with a laptop n card but if you have an a, b, or g card it does not work after 20 minutes. I contacted Belgin and they gave me the run around. I don't recommend this item
Great upgrade! December 31, 2008
Upgraded to this N+ with its matching adapter. Super simple setup and it really works great. The signal is very sensitive to antenna placement otherwise it would have gotten 5 *'s. Physically, everything is nicely made and the blue lights look trick. Very noticible speed improvement even using the old modem. New modem will hopefully be even quicker. Amazon, once again, delivers price and service that's hard to beat. (Network adaptor was cheaper elsewhere but not by much. No big)
I like it! December 28, 2008

Surprisingly, there are not many highly rated wireless routers out there to pick from. It seems like the best ones only get about 3-star reviews. I am upgrading from a Linksys wireless-g router that is a few years old, and wanted to make sure whatever "n" router I purchased it would be worth the money, and shows an improvement in functionality.
We'll, this router delivers. I'll try to briefly bullet the reasons why:
*Set up was very easy using the provided CD/tutorial. Took about 20 minutes total.
*After 4 days of use, no dropped signals or functionality issues at all.
*Ability to hold a flash drive (plugs right into the back of the router) that can be accessed by other computers is very convenient. Now, when I use my work laptop at home I can access or transfer files to the house laptop easily.
*LED screen on the router is easy to read and shows you what is or isn't working.
*I am now running internet speeds significantly faster on "n" versus "g". You'll see a big difference with this.
*I am getting much stronger signals all over the house versus my Linksys router
*Amazon's price of $87 makes it worth the price.
I highly recommend it to all.
