Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Dual Band Gigabit Router & Access Point Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an itinerant collector of wireless N routers - not intentionally, but because EVERY other wireless N router simply fails to deliver. Either the wireless has no range, needs constant re-booting and actually FALLS APART (D-Link) or it has slow router connections and its performance slowly fades away (Linksys) until it finally dies. To date, the best of the lot have been the Belkin Pre-N routers, although wireless throughput is not close to what is advertised.
When I saw this router at Fry's, I bought it (for more than Amazon charges) and figured I could return it if it did not perform.
This router is amazing. To start, the new installation protocols it supports made installation a snap. I inputed my static ip info and had an internet connection literally in seconds, a FIRST for me. The router connections are FAST, 10/100/1000 FAST. Its wireless coverage is superb. It reaches all of my various wireless connections (both g and n) and connects at 100mb+ speeds. While I do not use this particular function, the router allows for configuring specific gaming ports for maximum gaming performance. It also supports all the new security protocols and can be configured as a straight access point for existing network use.
While this wireless router is far from inexpensive, its ease of use and setup as well as performance makes it a screaming bargain.

BELKIN 150N WIRELESS USB ADAPTER (F6D4050) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I give this 5 stars ease of install (Windows Vista), but 1 star for actual performance (i.e. the ability to actually receive a Wi-Fi signal). The packaging was surprisingly easy to open, which is almost a half star these days. The setup was clear and easy with the install CD. I was happy to note that the insertion of the USB was a snap. I was worried that it would crowd out another USB port, but there was just enough room for another normal USB device in the adjacent space. Finally, the true test of this device is it's ability to receive a decent wireless signal. I studied the serial number and apparently this is version 2 of the series. A subsequent Internet search also confirmed that no Windows 7 drivers (as of 1/22/2010) were "available" as of yet. So if I were to move up to Win 7, I could have been stranded--but to be perfectly fair, the actual specifications on the box only mention Vista and XP.
I regret to say that I found that the Belkin N150 was terrible. It could not pick up a signal two rooms away, which is far below expectations. The walls in between are the regular drywall and stucco kind of walls, so I ruled out interference.
My recommendation is steer away from this model, but if you do get it be pretty sure you don't plan on upgrading to Win 7 anytime soon, and of course, to keep your receipt.
