Belkin Wireless Network Router
One of the most popular wireless network router that is used by both homes and businesses is Belkin. This particular device gives people the ability to share the broadband Internet connection without having to run numerous cables throughout the house. Along with sharing the Internet you will also be able to pass files from one computer in the area to another through the router.
Many of the newer Belkin wireless network routers are designed with 802.11g technology.

Unlike some network routers Belkin will give you a network speed that is often five times that of the current Wi-Fi standard connection.
The integrated 4-port 10/100base-T Ethernet switch will give you the ability to connect to a wired computer on the network. The router will give you close to 400 feet of wireless capability. Installation can be done easily using the Belkin Easy Install Wizard that will load automatically when your computer detects the Internet settings. The self adjusting router will connect you to the Internet in under three minutes.
The Belkin wireless router will function with a PC, Mac, and Works computer. The security settings will allow you to enable WEP encryption and to create your own password. This will keep people in the surrounding area from jumping on to your connection and from trying to steal things from your computer or slow your connection down. This will cost between $30 to $100.
