When we first reported onBelkin ’s N1 802.11npre - release router , we did n’t know much . Know we have it off that ’s it ’s fairly nerveless and can pump out a steady HD video flow — plus a lot more — at a gracious range and satisfactory throughput .

Belkin plant up a courteous test bed to show us how the N1 performed in a “ real surround . ” They had 17 devices streaming at once including iTunes communion , HD playback , and Internet radio . Most of them were running at 802.11 g speeds , except for the gamy bandwidth clobber , and there was a nary a jitter .
They foresee full 802.11n confirmation next year , so unless you have a good software — data point sharing at home or at the office , essentially—802.11n wo n’t aid much . However , the N1 is also a harbinger of things to amount from Belkin . The entire organization is idiot - test copy . It has a full complement of well-off - to - sympathise LEDs on the front and the box comes labeled to a fracture . This should wave out through all of Belkin ’s product over the next twelvemonth or so .
Those three antenna on the top ? The Atheros chipset in this affair has three recievers and three transmitters . The microcomputer card even has a long antenna that hangs out of the back of your computer . The Windows drivers are current and OS ten number one wood are forthcoming .
The N1 looks coolheaded and , based on the not particularly scientific tests arrayed for us at the demonstration , static and riotous . The router will be $ 199 while the laptop computer and PC cards will be $ 99 and $ 119 respectively . A forthcoming USB gimmick is contrive for October and will cost $ 149 .
