Belkin N600 Dual Band Gaming Router: organically shaped

Belkin N600 Dual Band Gaming Router: organically shaped

By: Alexandra Fistic  In: Accessories and Peripherals  Updated: Jan 19, 2012

In order to free themselves from the lag or delay problem, most gamers develop (or try to, at least) a possible solution. That is indeed a great initiative, because it requires passion for gaming. When this particular problem appears, the first thought is the following one: the hardware is to blame! And this way, the old mouse, keyboard, keypad is replaced with a new one, specially designed for gaming.

It’s a solution ideed, but the problem might steel occur, so the real issue could be the internet connection, because it is not fast enough! A possible solution could be best wireless gaming routers, like the Belkin N600 Gaming Router. If you are interested, follow the lines below and see if the device suits your needs!

The Belkin N600 Gaming Router provides four Ethernet ports and two wireless frequencies (2.4 and 5.0) that are able to function simultaneously. The  wireless transfer speed is among the best for over 30 and 60 fee ranges, and that is a good thing. A USB hub is included, so you can attach a storage device (such as a stick or an external HDD) or a printer (and building your own print server seem quite tempting to me). A Self-Healing application is the innovation that this particular router for games could win you over with. What this application does is detect the network problems and fix it, which sounds very nice and lets you focus on what matters: games!

In terms of design, the Belkin N600 Gaming Router is quite beautifully shaped. It is slim and, rather small sized (which makes it easy to store and transport) and it comes in a delicious shiny black color and makes it one of the best looking accessories for games.

In terms of performances, some things must be mentioned! It is easy to set up, the wireless range and speed is good (300 Mbps maximum) and it is perfectly capable of streaming high definition films, and these are the things that I like!

The things I don’t particularly like are: the network security that the producers like to presume with is rather mediocre, in the case of this router and the Self-Healing doesn’t really heal the problem if it’s too complex for the software to detect correctly!

All in all, this is not the best router, but quite a mediocre one when it comes to security features, but is suitable for gaming purposes.  And considering the looks, price is not that bad considering you get a great looking router: almost 70 US dollars on Amazon (prices should be similar in other stores). The Belkin N600 dual band router is not a bad deal, but considering the huge offer of networking peripherals, the choice is and remains yours, always!

  1. Design reminds me of Logitech’s usual design.
