Review of the Belkin N+ Wireless Router
To start off, the the Belkin N+ has quite a nice design. It is made to work in the vertical position, with its two antennas at the top of the router. The Belkin N+ comes with excellent instructions, so much so that even the most inexperienced of users should have no issues setting it up. You can use either the included CD or the router's web interface to completely setup and customize this router.
One very cook feature about this router is the ability to connect an external USB hard drive to the device, allowing you to access this drive from any computer on the network. The Belkin N+ comes with software to help you setup the external drive and begin using it.
Another excellent feature the N+ provides is Belkin's "Broadband Download Speedometer". It basically gives you a graphical representation of how much bandwidth you are currently using. It also provides the basic networking features of other wireless home routers including port forwarding, dhcp and address reserving. It supports WEP and WPA encryption as well as MAC address filtering.
The range of the Belkin N+ is probably the most noticeable performance aspect of this router. I was able to get a signal up to 350 ft., noticeably better than most other wireless routers. The throughput seemed to be solid as well. If you're in the market for a wireless n router, the Belkin N+ is an excellent value.
