A $100 price tag on a router can leave a whole on your pocket. But why go for that price when you can get a router that works alike at a price of $40. For wireless internet connection at a good price, Belkin has something for you. Though I am a Linksys fan, I tried using other wireless routers for fun and reviews. Lately the Belkin G Wifi Router has caught my attention.

Like any other installation Belkin G Wifi Router is quite simple and fast. It comes with installation CD that will install the wireless management add-on. You need to go through the process and follow it carefully when to plug the router to the modem.  By the way, the wireless connection covers 400 feet and there are 4 Ethernet ports for wired connection as well.  It works with “802.11b“and “802.11g” and it’s compatible with game consoles and printers aside from your laptops.

After a successful installation, I tried it with my Toshiba Portege.  The wireless signal was good within the 400 feet distance as advertised. Given that there were no interferences in the environment, the wireless connection was fast and stable. The Belkin G Wifi Router has both WMP and WPA encryption that will keep your network safe. I was pleased with the range and quality. No protests at all with the easiness of use with my Toshiba Portege and the impressive 400 feet range.

After some time with the Belkin G wifi router I can’t say I was upset, I was very pleased with its basic functions. The connections were fast and reliable. Consumers interested in an inexpensive source of wireless internet will be very pleased.
