Though the new "N" wi-fi standard, which carries data signals faster and farther
than its predecessor "G," isn't expected to be officially ratified until
next year, it's far enough along that you can buy certified N products
with confidence that they will work with your computers and other hardware.
Belkin's audaciously designed N1 Vision router stands vertical and reports
on network activity in your house so you can see if your kid is downloading
video games when he should be doing his homework. It is designed to
configure itself the first time you connect it to your cable modem or DSL,
and computers still using older "G" adapters will still be able to
connect.
PRICE: $200
