Abstract: Belkin was one of the first companies to ship a “Draft-N” product. The Belkin N1 Wireless Router F5D8231-4 also introduced a new look for wireless routers. Rather than a design that could be mounted vertically or horizontally, the N1 is clearl...
Outstanding design and usability, WPA/WPA2 Enterprise support
Subpar performance in long and midrange tests, Relatively high failure rate on longrange tests
This router is far and away the best of our test group in design and ease of use, and it has excellent features. But it stumbled badly in long- and midrange performance tests.
Abstract: SETUP/EASE OF USE Belkin has outdone itself: The N1 router has a slick design and much easier setup process. A removable sticker on the N1 shows you exactly which steps to perform, and the completely redesigned setup program—now with an Apple look a...
Elegant and functional new design. Performed better than 802.11g products.
Performance below that expected of a draft-n router.
Belkins N1 Wireless Router is user-friendly, has meaningful status icons, and sports a nice case design—all great features that are discounted by its disappointing draft-n performance....
The Belkin N1 is extremely user-friendly, with an idiot-proof setup guide and an impressive network-status display. And it still leads the pack with its service-and-support package.
Though the Belkin N1 performed admirably for having only the mixed-mode option, it still fell well short of expectations for 802.11n networking equipment.
With its easy-to-grasp status icons, up-to-date security options, and stellar support, the Belkin N1 router is on the path to 802.11n wireless networking stardom, but like other Draft N devices, its performance fails to impress. Price range: $97.95 - $...
Good Tech Support, Professional looking product and packaging, Nice blue lights...
Nonfunctioning software, Installation requires Tech Support call, Desktop card antenna will not stay connected, has too short of a cable, Security will not work properly without using the software, which does not work...
unless Belkin issues a public apology to the computer world for the fiasco with this software, the only way I can recommend that anyone buys these products, is if they really like to look at pretty objects, or if they are lonely and just want to talk...
Abstract: Belkin’s N1 was one of the first draft-n routers, and this version with an integrated ADSL2+ modem sports the same black styling.Glance at the feature table on page 81 and you’ll notice there are several missing features including quality...

It proved to be a solid unit throughout our test period and we dont have any reservations recommending it if youre in the market for an ADSL2+ router with fast wireless networking capabilities.
Abstract: Were still waiting for a product that totally delivers on the promises of the 802.11n specification, but Belkins N1 at least comes closer than most. Whats more, its an exceptionally easy router to both install and maintain.
No port lights, Throughput is still not exceptional
