PCMag ’s review of the Belkin Wireless Pre - N Router illustrates the promise of the yet - to - be - ratify 802.11n standard — the speed of the Pre - N networking is of the most forged of asses , like 40Mbps at 60feet ( 4x that of 802.11g)—but there ’s always a danger in using devices that are pre - standard . If Belkin ’s effectuation disagree from the last spec , you might have a $ 150 router that wo n’t work with anyone else ’s computer hardware . It is backwards - compatible with 802.11b and g specs , though , so you only have to purchase the $ 100 client cards if you need to , you be intimate , get any improvement out of it .
Still , I would advise staying away unless you just urgently demand those speeds . I revalue Belkin put “ Pre - N ” right in the name , too , even if most people wo n’t cognise what that entail .
