“We are excited that LAPTOP Magazine has recognized our N1 Wireless Router with this award,” says Mark Reynoso, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing at Belkin. “It’s especially gratifying that LAPTOP emphasized our innovation in the design and ease-of-use features built into N1. Our goal is to continue to innovate and provide the simplest wireless networking experience for our customers, and we believe this Router successfully achieves these qualities.”

Belkin’s N1 line consists of a Wireless Router (F5D8231-4), Wireless Notebook Card (F5D8011), and Wireless Desktop Card (F5D8001). Used together, they ensure a high-performance network on which you can run multiple applications simultaneously without any connection drops.

To enhance the wireless networking experience, the N1 Wireless Router features a Network Status Display with icons representing each component of your network. These indicate that your network connection is working and assist with troubleshooting. N1 delivers link rates of up to 300Mbps in 40MHz channel mode*. With these greater ranges and faster speeds, N1 Wireless offers a quick and efficient way for people to distribute video, music, photos, and files among the networked computers in their homes.

*NOTE: The standard transmission rate—300Mbps—is the physical data rate. Actual data throughput will be lower.
