Product Description You're probably familiar with the alphabet of the wireless world--802.11b, g, and a--but another letter is right around the corner: n. While the 802.11n standard still has yet to be finalized, Belkin's Pre-N router gives us a taste of what's in store for the future of wireless... sort of (more on that below). The Belkin Pre-N is backwards compatible with 802.11b/g wi-fi cards and super-sizes them with some of the Customer Reviews Great Performance, but POOR Firewall. Power Users Beware!!! I bought this to replace my D-Link 624 due to it cutting out and degraded performance over time (probably due to the increase of other wireless networks in my apartment complex). The good: This blows away my old router in speed. No dropouts, just solid performance. Installation was pretty easy... ...until I got to setting up my VNC, Web, & FTP servers... The bad: The firewall stinks. You have very limited configuration options. Port forwarding also doesn't work correctly. If you want to host a website, FTP server, VPN, VNC, etc on your network to view or access from the outside world... This router will not work for you. Read the other negative reviews about this. There are workarounds, another reviewer on here used his old router (with the wireless disabled) to handle WAN traffic, and this one to handle the wireless. Ugh! Advanced power users BEWARE!!! Regular users will never know and this will be a great product for them. CNET editors rated this #1 which is why I bought it. Unfortunatly I've lost some confidence in their editor picks. A really good product Had I not seen so many negative reviews about this router recently, I would not write this review. But for some reason there are plenty of them posted on this site, so this is my $.02 worth. This is a great product from the small details such as instructions, packing, and design to the router itself. Before this, I had a CompUSA 802.11g router that died after three months of less than flawless service. Back then, I thought this was bad, but after my next one, a Linksys, went down during its first week, I recognized that three months is a quite decent life span for this wireless technology, though `wireless' is not really an accurate description as my Dell notebook was not able to connect with either the CompUSA nor the Linksys router. The pre N router worked just fine from the start, and now that my notebook's finally gone wireless, I've gone crazy from happiness. Belkin didn't ring a bell I bought it because many ppl rate this high, but for me, it wasn't pleasure to get it. I had 2 of it but one didn't work properly. It worked for 10 minutes fine, but then suddenly lost signal and didn't work at all. I reset it and tried it but samething happened, so I just returned it.
