Belkin Play N600 DB

Zitat: The Good: + Lifetime warranty The Bad: - 100Mb Ethernet stingy at this price - Worryingly warm during operation - Would only connect at full speed to our Intel adapter when running single band - Middling wireless performance - 5GHz not visible on our Ralink adapter Despite looking similar to its modemless cousin, the N600 DB wireless modem/router is a different entity. Problems with Intel and Ralink chipsets, worrying heat output, middling wireless performance and long waits between changing settings mean that this one should be passed over.

Zitat: The Good: + Finally allows spaces in SSIDs + Decent ranged wireless performance + Great warranty The Bad: - 100Mb Ethernet is stingy for the price - Close-range wireless performance is middling - Slow to apply settings - Doesn´t detect net access if not hooked up through WAN The N600 DB is passable as a wireless router. While a lifetime warranty is incredibly appealing, the wireless performance is trounced by devices that are in the same price bracket.

Zitat: Best Award Easy setup, useful extras and great performance make this a Best Buy ADSL router

Zitat: Pros: + Simultaneous dual-band operation USB hard drive port Looks good Cons: - Sluggish in our Wi-Fi tests Web interface is slow No Gigabit The Belkin N600 was a breeze to set up and it was reliable throughout our test period. It was a little sluggish in our wireless transfer tests, and its Web interface is slow, but it was fine for high-def video streaming and the chances are you won´t have to use its Web interface often anyway. It´s well worth considering for a simple home network.
