CNET Editors' review - Belkin N1 Wireless Notebook Card

Very good

7.2

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.2 out of 10
Reviewed by Felisa Yang
Review date: 6/19/06
Release date: 5/1/06

The good: The Belkin N1 adapter is less expensive than the competition and a cinch to install, and it's backed by a generous service-and-support policy.

The bad: The Belkin N1 adapter (with the N1 router) doesn't live up to the promise of 802.11n in terms of performance.

The bottom line: The Belkin N1 adapter is a little better than the competition, but that's not saying much. Hold off on buying Draft N networking equipment for now.
