Reviews & Ratings for N1 Vision Wireless Router I have a N1 Vision Wireless, and it rocks. It was real easy to deploy, and has remarkable range. We have several branches, 2 of them a quarter mile appart, and I could get half bars. This ap also runs 2 accounts, one for my inside sales guys, and a guest account that is limited to internet and printers. I plan to put one of these in all 17 branches. Belkin makes a great product.

Reviews & Ratings for N1 Vision Wireless Router First, I am an IT professional of over 25 years. I can honestly say that this is the first bad Belkin Router I have come across. There are always bad 'apples' in a box, and you should not let that spoil the rest. But this router is just on the lowest end of the scale.
AS A ROUTER (WIRED) I can give this product as a wired router 5 stars. Ease of use, setup, security, and speed. All top rate on the product I purchased.
The problems come when you are 1... not using it just on wired connections, and 2, when you have multiple computers trying to connect to it.
AS A WIRELESS ROUTER I can only give this router 1 star for wireless use. I can see for some people, if they are only using 1 wireless device/computer, and there are not many other routers in the area, it will work very well for them. I am sure as I have read all the reviews here, most without complaint. The problems come along when you have more than one wireless device. Even with PROTECTED mode switched on, one, or all devices, will very soon start to drop in speed, possible even lose connection to the router. Even upon reconnecting automatically back to the router, the device will not get a totally successful connection. The wireless device will need to be disabled and re-enabled, or the computer restarted.
As an IT professional, it took me a good 2 hours of constantly adjusting many of the parameters, and channels that the router was broadcasting on, to get a setting that worked 'almost' satisfactory on 2 out of the 4 laptops I have trying to connect wirelessly. I have had to resort to only 2 laptops connecting wirelessly at a time. The correct channel on the router was the key. The one laptop that runs on 802.11g varies in speed from 36.0Mbps to 54.0Mbps. The 802.11n wireless laptop runs anywhere from 56.0Mbps to 144.0Mbps.
Belkin claims speeds of up to 300Mbps. This must be when using only Belkin N1 products at both ends. With my 802.11n laptop 2 inches from the router, the maximum speed acheived was 144.0Mbps. Maybe if you switch of all security you can get closer to 300Mbps.
VPN CONNECTION
I use a standard MS VPN connection to the office, and it seems to work fine. Using MS Outlook and Exchange, most of the time, it works without fault. There are times where MS Outlook cannot see of authenticate to the Exchange server, even though you can ping the server and see it outside of MS Outlook. This is NO FAULT of the Belkin N1 wireless router. After much research from myself and my colleagues in the office, we have to turn our attention to the internet providers and VPN connections. If you research the internet on your internet provider (one of the largers ones that also provides cable TV) VPN connections, and bandwidth limitation. You will find a number of articles where the internet provider is limiting connections when they see VPN bandwidth usage. The only way around this is to pay for a business connection, with a guaranteed high bandwidth. So, sometimes it may work, sometimes it may not. The best thing to do is when it's not working, reset your cable modem, release the IP and renew to another, and try again.
OTHER FEATURES The other features on the router seem to be very useful. The gigabit connection for wired devices, and statistical display. The display very useful for those times when you need to gauge whether or not you are getting your full bandwidth up, and down.
OVERALL
If you are looking for a good wireless router, do NOT bother with the N1 Vision. If you want a router that sort of works, and looks pretty, with a few bells and whistles, then it is a good router for you.
