Unboxing The Belkin N1 Router and Notebook Card
Over at Unboxing, we just did a video showing the unboxing of a Belkin N1 networking set. The set includes the N1 802.11n-draft router along with N1 Wireless Notebook card. We were impressed with the way Belkin packaged the internals, so figured we would put the video up here as well. Enjoy - and head on over to Unboxing for more photos, videos, and the like.

Great vid Andru. Here’s my question to you, if you already have G at home, and G in your laptop ... is it worth upgrading to N now?

Belkin Wireless N Notebook Adapter (N1) is listed as being MAC compatible. IT IS NOT.
1. MAC OSX 10.4 - no drivers for MAC and they have told me by phone - no drivers planned
2. 300Mbs - numerous internet sources say 54Mbs MAX currently till next year after the new standard is ratified (2008). Then there is no guarantee the router will even work with the cards they are saying. So this device is not much better a deal than the pre-N they sold. In Fact with the Pre-N router and cards you could at least get 100Mbs speeds. This one will NOT do that (according to the internet) unless you switch off Mixed mode (allow only N cards) BUT the router itself does not allow this option anyway. Either you turn on mixed mode to allow G cards too or you switch off wireless and use it only as a router. The web interface has just those two options
