Belkin Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router review

  by Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com) - Nov, 2003

In today's society, speed is one of the major factors whether you are working from home or in an office. We all want things faster, quicker and easier on the second tier of the internet that surfaced in the use of broadband. Ten years ago a handful of...

Half-Year parental protection trial

Affected by walls and doors when in cramped space

For the glitches in this newly launched standard you might as well stick with Wi-Fi or 802.11x until they iron themselves out.

Belkin 4-port Wireless USB Hub

  by (techradar.com) - Jun, 2008

techradar.com

Can Belkin's first true Wireless USB product cut the mustard?

It works ; Speed isn't bad ; Easy to install

Range is laughable ; needs W-USB peripherals ; Expensive

Then unplug it and deposit it where you like, connect the receiver stick to the PC and the two parts will find each other automatically from thereon in. No passkeys, no annoying tiny buttons that need synchronising it's as close to plug'n'play as...

Belkin Switch2 review

  by tech.co.uk staff (techradar.com) - Aug, 2006

The Belkin Switch2 is a networking box for anyone wanting to view two Macs through a single monitor. Both Macs can be on at the same time; the switch simply divides the signal so you can choose which Mac to view.

Easy to set u

Belkin 54g wireless cable/DSL gateway router

  by Brian Nadel (asia.cnet.com) - Apr, 2003

The Belkin 54g wireless router is easy to set up, offers top performance, and comes with a lifetime warranty. Why not take the wireless plunge?

Easy setup; very good performance; compatible with older 802.11b cards; lifetime warranty

Expensive; no wireless bridge capabilities; sparse Web site support

With its top performance and easy setup, the Belkin 54g wireless router could be all you need to unwire your home.

Belkin Switch 2

  by paul_smart (gadgetspeak.com) - Feb, 2007

gadgetspeak.com

This is a KVM switch and in this case not only links two computers together using only one keyboard, monitor/panel, mouse but also a single set of speakers.

A KVM switch has long linked my two computers that sit either end of my desk, now I can dispense with speakers as well. The long term test Acer panel has excellent speakers built in and now the set of speakers that were used for the other PC are...

Some Unresolved Problems : D-Link DKVM-2KU

  by mfereday (gadgetspeak.com) - Jan, 2007

gadgetspeak.com

It is a sad tale that caused several problems and had me crawling about on the floor.

As prices of computer systems continue to fall while specifications increase, the temptation grows for users to upgrade their computing capability with a new purchase. The problem can then arise as to what to do with the old system. If you do not...

Belkin Switch2 : Belkin Switch2 KVM

Some problems are not immediately obvious as happened with this particular device.

In my house there is a constant fight ensuing between various items of computer equipment and living space. I hate to admit it but it is often the former that wins the day in these battles. Sometimes, though, a compromise can be reached as in the...

I have bought this item for my 17" laptop. After 4 days I have finally received it and was happy about the cover from the first touch and look. Soft material, descent looking item. But when I inserted my laptop in the cover, computer has got lost...

Absolutely massive

  by sophie0305 (amazon.co.uk) - Nov, 2011

A 17" laptop sleeve should tightly fit a 17" laptop. My 17" (diagonal) laptop is minuscule compared to this neoprene sack. I'm so disappointed with this purchase. Mis sold.

Surprisingly roomy

I tentatively bought this product as I simply couldn't find a sleeve designed to fit my 18.4'' widescreen Toshiba laptop. Even though it says 17'' on the product description, this sleeve easily accomodates my laptop (I can fit my Wacom tablet in there...

I bought this bag for my 17" HP Laptop. The bag is well made with a good quality zip. However, I think something more sturdy would be more appropriate if you travel a lot with your laptop. The bag does offer protection from scratches and minor bumps...

big enough

  by Derek Watt "Dexy" (amazon.co.uk) - Apr, 2011

amazon.co.uk

Bought this sleeve for my 17.3" screeen laptop. You could probably get an 18" in there. Good quality though, nice soft interior and secure double zip fastening. 4 stars due to movement of laptop inside sleeve. Hold it tightly.
