Belkin's line of award-winning Wireless N routers have already proven to be popular, but the company is today upping its game with the introduction of its first dual-band solution in the form of the all-new Double N+ Wireless Router.
Arriving as the next step up from Belkin's existing N+ Wireless Router, the Double N+ model - as the name suggests - features dual IEEE 802.11n radios operating on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies to ensure "a faster and more reliable connection".
The dual-band configuration should result in less interference, allowing users to wirelessly connect multiple bandwidth-intensive devices simultaneously.
In addition to the improved wireless performance, the Double N+ Wireless Router offers plenty of other useful features, too. Four Gigabit Ethernet ports are available for those who prefer wired setups, and a built-in USB port allows for the addition of network-attached storage. There's even a built-in UPnP server for sharing media with any networked media players.
Elsewhere, a built-in BitTorrent client allows for stand alone management of all your peer-2-peer downloads, and it'll also allow you to download directly to an attached USB storage device. As with previous models, the Double N+ Wireless Router features an LED speedometer to show off your download speeds, and support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Unfortunately, there's no sign yet of a model with a built-in DSL modem. If you're willing to go without, the Belkin Double N+ Wireless Router is expected to become available by the end of January priced at £129.99. If you're after a complete dual-band Wireless N makeover, Belkin's also rolled out a Double N+ USB Adaptor that's available priced at £59.99.
