    "Super range"

    by sdvball2002 on March 21, 2005

    Pros: Easy installation, great range, ready for future technology, 802.11N

    Cons: Expensive but you get what you pay for!

    Summary: I have been a loyal Linksys user for more than 5 years now. Been working at the 802.11b space all this time.
    Recently, I moved and needed better range within my home network. The old router, BEF11S4 didn't cut it at 80 feet. So after trying Linksys' G54 and Netgear's G54, and found both weren't any better with range, I went to Cnet to see what others found best. You guessed it, the Belkin Pre-N. Installation was easy, and range is fantastic. I have tested it to at least 200 feet and have great signal.

    I'm looking for a better range solution for my 2 story home as well...did you get better range without buying MIMO cards for the computers? Does this router support WPA-2 encryption?

    Thanks!!!

    Can I use this with my laptop? I was planning to buy the LINKSYS Wireless-B Broadband Router (BEFW1154) for my laptop. Please advise and thank you very much.
