"Am i dreaming or did i just walk 500Ft with an Internet Connection!!!"

Pros: I have had my fair share experience with all name brand Router; Linksys, Belkin, Netgear, D-Link, and Buffulo. I never liked Linksys or D-Link, and seemed to only stay towards Netgear. Well now the new Belkin Pre-N just changes my mind completely. When i first bought i was a little un-sure if i would get the range. Well listen to this, i bought only the Pre-N Router from Belkin and stepped out of my house which has Brick Surroundings, walked down the block, about 250ft and i still had a connection with my Built-In Intel 802.11G card. Then i went out and bought the Pre-N Card and i got as far as about 500ft and i could have probably went on but it was cold outside.
Cons: Not much negative, it's really the best one on the market. Only 1 thing bothered me it did not have the ability to reserve IP's for certain MAC Address', yes i know you can do it manually through Network Configuration, but i just liked that one feature the Netgear had. Other then that the Price is expensive, but come on now, when 802.11G came out the price was also a whopping $180 in certain places.
