How or why is Belkin better?
It's not even worth asking that question. His post is totally unqualified. Similar post of his are of the same type. He likes Belkin, so you should too. That's about the extent of that reasoning.

| Will this pre-N make it so whenever I use the microwave oven or the phone, I will not get booted from the net (or one but not the other)? Or should I just buy 802.11a for that?

| what happened to dlink, netgear and buffalo N products? I heard about a week or two ago that dlink,netgear and buffalo were releasing wireless-N products. What happened to those hitting the store shelves? I see that both netgear and dlink have them listed under their products, but I cannot find them on any online stores. Any word on these? | |

| Pre-n is good I bought my gf a netgear pre-n card.
Pre-n equipment is awesome. always full speed on a 802.11g router. Always full signal.
The bad part is that I bought a netgear card. their driversd are horrid and like to conk out on dell laptops.
Anyway once the belkin products come out ill buy them in an instant.
If the n spec products are better then the pre-n spec ones then It will be awesome  | |

Im also a firm believe in, if it works, and works, and you try to f'it-up, but it still works, stick with the company. THATS how you gain customer loyalty. Plus their products are cheap in price compared to the bogus Netgears and Linksys plug and pray your first click doesnt demolish your pc products. | |

Just to trash this statement.
I install networks for major corporations, AND run a Consulting firm for 25+ YEARS (51 MCSEs and Cisco certs).
WE NOT ONLY TEST ALL AVAILABLE ROUTERS under very stringent conditions, but also use them ourselves in our own houses before recommending to anyone.

I have my own "validations" I could throw around, but I won't because it serves no purpose. Aside from the name dropping...Your previous posts never amounted to anything except "I use them, so you use them too". Your other recent post here at DSLR are nothing much more than the same thing. I simply called you out on it.
If you're a supporter of Belkin products, fine. I have no problem with it. But when you start spouting off biases without any supporting evidence, the post becomes useless.

The netgear 802.11n has a gigabit switch in it.
I have had nothing but bad luck with any Netgear product. they all have great features but horrid support. | |

I usually don't chime in, but comon. No real company, much less MAJOR company, should install consumer grade gear. Most MAJOR companies are going after (and you should be referring) to the CISCO series wireless routers (800's, 1800's) due the IOS, integration, QoS, expandability, security, modularity and industry standards. Yea, Cisco owns Linksys...but jeez
...what consulting company is that you run that I'll be avoiding??

Plus if the NIC in the PC is 10/100, you actually outdo the NIC with a wireless PC. | |

| since when has technology stopped advancing when we no longer "needed" it to be any better? Faster file transfers lead to greater capability to transfer larger files over networks, faster and since it's wireless, hopefully with greater mobility. This is the future.
I want to be able to download HD movies to my laptop and upload them to my Apple mini, where I can view them on my HDTV before my friend can click "Purchase now" on his Pay-Per-View...that's just my ideal | |

| Re: 300mbps? hey man,
you dont have to be so aggresive. i wasn't saying nobody should have it, i was just curious how many people would actually have a use for it.
i mean the 2 minute transfer time difference between the 50 meg and 300 meg on your 7 gig video seems to be a serious issue for you. i mean it takes at the very least 30 minutes to create the video then i wouldnt think the 2 minute upload time would be a big problem.
the only big thing to me is that this is short range wireless, since you have to be withing a few hundred feet(and even closer if you actually want the high speed) it seems like gigbit ethernet would be a better way to go for work applications if you care that much about the high speed.
i do know a little something about high data rates though. i provision high speed data networks for AT&T from 56k frame relay to ATM OC12's. and i am also into high end online gaming and video and music downloads, when i can break away from checking the sports scores and sending all my greeting cards.... | |

Waterloo, IA | Get a clue.
"G" promises 54Mbps but in the real world is lucky to deliver 25-30Mbps.
"N" is likely to be similar. 300Mbps? Right. More like 100Mbps - albeit a significant boost... | |

| the question that should be asked is, ok, 300mbps wireless connection to the router, then what, it is still a 100mbps LAN connection. Hello, this thing on, anyone else see the problem here? Maybe this can be justified if the unit has a gigbit connection to the LAN, but everything I have found so far shows 10/100, NOT 10/100/1000! So you want fast wireless from the router to the pc, but after that, where are you going to see it. All I hear is a bunch of noise, and is sounds like a herd of sheep! | |

| The antenas are there for a reason The antenas are required by the n -spec.
Trust me when you use n equipment you wont turn back.
I have used it. Not fully. I have used a 802.11n card on a 802.11g router.
I get full 802.11g speeds with full signal strenth anywhere in my house with the 802.11n card.
This is a pre-n card but just about the same.
If the New belkin n stuff is even better then it is awesome
The only thing is the netgear 802.11n router has gigabit ports on the switch. It stinks because netgear has horrid driver support. | |
