Belkin N600 Wireless Modem Router ADSL
Firstly, the router looks classy - in its sleek polished black casing.
The router comes with very few instructions - basically link it up and put the cd into the pc! But then the instructions via the cd ensure that the set up is very straightforward - it guides you through each step. Plus - a PDF of all the router's instructions are also on the disc if you have any problems.
The usb port for "wireless printer and storage" - is great - I have my printer connected to it the whole time and therefore can print from any "networked" computer. The only gripe I'd have is - why only ONE usb port? I would have liked to have had 2 or maybe even 3 usb ports so I could have connected a spare hard drive accessible to all my pc's (ps I have just noticed that the Belkin 750 DOES have two usb ports).
I have used the "Self-healing" option - it worked fine. It had a problem, I ran this - and it sorted itself out within seconds.
The wi-fi signal appears strong all round the house - and in the garden (note - I only live in a bungalow though!)
All in all a very decent wireless router - it does exactly what it is supposed to do and looks stylish in its sleek black box. A hit with me!

I am more familiar with routers from AVM and Netgear and so I was pleased to obtain this new Belkin device to compare against them.
This is a very easy device to set up and configure, just switch on and insert the supplied CD and follow the prompts. In use it is again very simple and the software when installed makes this easier still with essential functions available from the Windows Task Bar.
It is possible to run two wireless network streams, one in the usual 2.4Ghz band and another in the less popular but quieter 5Ghz band. In addition it is possible to also use a separate Guest network which allows users to connect to the router but without access to other networked devices or to the router's control page.
The wi fi coverage for all streams is good but coverage is reduced, as is normal, for the 5Ghz band.
There are also 4 Ethernet ports for wired connections, annoyingly for a router of this quality they do not support the most recent and higher speed Gigabyte LAN connections.
In addition there is a single USB port which can be used to share a connected printer or Hard drive to any networked computer when using the supplied Belkin software. There is a built in media server which allows video and audio files to be played on directly on suitably equipped TVs and Media Players. It would seem from the manual that only one device at a time can be used and that USB hubs are not supported. Also, unlike with the more expensive and specialised AVM routers there are no dedicated VOIP telephone ports.
The build quality could be better but the router is stylish and attractive to the eye. There is just one multi purpose LED on the front and it is to be regretted there are not separate lights to indicate internet status, Ethernet connected devices etc.
In conclusion I would say this is excellent router, well specified, powerful and easy to use.

This does the basics very well - range and speed are excellent, and, so far, it's been 100% stable.
It's dual-band (great as long as your devices have 5GHz support), offers a USB port for printer or storage and ability to set up a guest network. I like being able to power the wireless down automatically overnight to reduce power consumption. If you need two ports or gigabit Ethernet, go for the N750.
You don't have to install the software if you're comfortable configuring the router manually and don't want to use the USB port (see below). It's easily configured through the web interface (192.168.2.1, default password blank). I'm using mine with a static ip address on O2 and configuration was straightforward without reference to the manual.
One thing that bugs me beyond reason is that the mains lead is shorter than any other router I've owned, so I have to use an extension lead. The supplied lead is more than a metre, probably about 1.2m or even a little more, but not long enough to reach the location occupied by my last 3 or 4 routers. A longer lead would have cost pennies, if that. I'd solder an extra piece into the lead but that would reduce the router's second-hand value.
The vertical design is hopeless, as far as I'm concerned. It's lightweight and cables attached up the back of it make it very unstable. And then there's the gloss black finish which is bound to get smudged and scratched. Give me a good solid brick, every time, even if it does mean external antennae.
As for the "apps", there's little to them. As far as I can see, Self-Healing just lets you schedule a periodic automatic restart and maybe initiates a restart automatically if problems are detected. Memory Safe is a simple backup tool to copy files to USB storage. Print Zone presumably is just the ability to attach a printer to the router. And Video Mover "sends media from a USB drive attached to your Router to any UPnP or DLNA-compatible device on your network". Apart from scheduled restart, I think all those require installation of the Belkin s/w - has to be on all devices wanting to print to the attached printer.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and only wish it had a more practical shape and finish (and a longer mains lead!).
