Product Description
Connecting the Belkin N Wireless Router to your cable or DSL modem lets you share your broadband Internet account with all your networked computers. The N wireless router uses draft 802.11n technology and Intelligent MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) spatial multiplexing techniques which greatly increases speed, coverage, and the reliability of the wireless network. N wireless router offers a quick and efficient way for people to distribute music, photos, and files among the networked computers in their home.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Belkin N Wireless Router uses the Wireless N protocol to provide an ultra-fast and reliable wireless network for your apartment or office. Offering outstanding performance, this router can handle the most demanding tasks, letting you stream HD video at the same time your kids are playing online games and sharing photos with their friends.

The Belkin Wireless N Router:
  • Creates a Wireless-N network with up to a 1200-foot range and 300Mbps data throughput.
  • Is backward compatible with Wireless-G and 802.11b networks.
  • Has four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for wired connections.


Wireless-N offers up to 300 Mbps wireless speeds for bandwidth-intensive users. View larger.


The router also includes four wired Ethernet ports. View larger.
Smart Design with Wired and Wireless Connections
The Wireless N Router has a striking, vertical enclosure that is both handsome and space efficient. The two built-in external antennas provide a wireless range of up to 1,200 feet and easily covers an apartment or small office. Six LEDs for Security, Wireless, Wired, Router, Modem, and Internet let you know the status of your network at a glance, making it easy to troubleshoot any problems.

Wireless N uses the latest 802.11n Draft 2.0 technology, offering better range and throughput than 802.11g and 802.11b networks. By using smart MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) antenna technology, the range of a Wireless N network is extended and can blanket a large home.



With wireless speeds of up to 300Mbps, you won't be waiting for videos to buffer or music to download because your children are playing online games. Wireless N provides more than enough bandwidth to make crystal-clear Internet phone calls, transfer a large amount of photos, and stream movies to your computer without any lag or hiccups.

You can also share networked peripherals such as a Wi-Fi printer, hard drives, and DVDs. If you have some computers that use the older wireless standards, they'll still work because the Wireless N router is backwards compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices (though they won't connect at the same blistering speed). For maximum speed and range, Belkin's N Wireless USB Adapter, Notebook Card, and ExpressCard adapter are recommended.

In addition to Wireless N, the router also has four 10/100 Ethernet ports at the back, giving you the option to plug in for a steady and secure, fast connection running at up to 100Mbps.

Thanks to the strong built-in security, including support for WPA, WPA2, Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and 64-and 128-bit WEP encryption, you will be protected from hackers and intruders trying to gain access to your sensitive files. Setting up security is simple, too: just push the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button located on the front of the router. The router also supports VPN for making secure connections between home and office.

Easy to Set Up
Belkin designed the Wireless N Router to be as simple to use as possible. Simply connect your wireless router to your cable or DSL modem, plug the router in, and connect your computer to the router. That's it. To help monitor your network performance and usage, the router includes Personal Network Assistant software, which runs on Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X 10.4/10.5.

The Belkin N Wireless router is backed by a 1-year warranty and includes free 24/7 technical support.

What's in the Box
N Wireless Router, quick installation guide, Personal Network Assistant CD, user manual on CD, power supply, RJ45 Ethernet networking cable.



With a range up to 1200 feet, you have the freedom to work wherever you want.

1 out of 5 stars Piece of Plastic with Flashing Lights   February 27, 2010
Gamer (Evansville, IN USA)
This router is absolutely AWFUL when it comes to compatibility with PS3. It works ok with my laptop and desktops for wireless, but with online gaming it is SOOOOO BAD. If that is your cup of tea, DO NOT BUY. PS, it took Belkin's customer service representative about 2 mintues to take down and repeat my name back to me. AWFUL!

This product did not perform as advertised. After many calls to support it was sent back to the supplier, FactoryDepot. FactoryDepot has poor customer service operating on Pacific Coast time and e-mail responses that take up to three days. Belkin has outsourced its customer service to India. After several repetitions of words, you will be lucky you to understand their communications.

Overall, would not recommend this product or the supplier.



3 out of 5 stars frustrating.   January 22, 2010
Adrienne R. Gelardi
Before my five year old Dell router died it worked better than this. AT LEAST every 2-3 days I have to reset it because it will stop working. This is extremely frustrating. Other than that it has a great signal and works well with my Wii. It's simple enough to set up, and I have a fast connection... but really.. there is NO REASON I should have to unplug it and plug it back in every other day to get it to work. I understand that sometimes with modems and routers you just have to do that to get them to start working again but usually only once every MONTH at the MOST. Luckily all you have to do is unplug it and plug it back in and it starts working again pretty quickly.


5 out of 5 stars Best router   January 21, 2010
Frank Boateng (New Haven, CT USA)
The Belking wireless N 4-port router was very easy to set up. It took about 10 minutes and I was up and runing with no problems whatsoever. Get this product if you have a cable modem.


1 out of 5 stars Not reliable   January 17, 2010
D. Bryce Corkins (Santa Fe, NM)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I don't usually post these reviews-- but I felt I should advise anyone against buying this particular router.

It works, if you just plug it in and leave it (though the range on the N isn't as far as some), but once you try and change any configuration settings, it becomes very unreliable. I was trying to use it to port forward a few ports to a server I was running. After setting the ports and the destination, and restarting, the entire network would crash. Sometimes I could recover by hard resetting both the modem and router, but often I would have to reset the router to factory defaults and start again. Once I did get the forwarding working, it only went a week before the whole network crashed again, and wouldn't recover without another full reset. I bought a better router, and gave this one to a family member.

Also, while I was configuring it for this person, I changed the wireless broadcast channel because I knew that 6 had some interference in that area. Spent about an hour going through different channels, unable to connect on any of them, until I realized that it had just crashed again and wouldn't connect to anything. So I had to hard reset and leave it at 6.

Have upgraded the firmware, doesn't help any.

Don't buy this.
