    Hey guys !
    Am looking for a router to couple up with my wired modem so as to set up a wi fi connection in my house !
    Ofcourse,just like everyone else,my main concerns are speed and range !
    I live in a flat (second floor), fairly small house and i expect the router to provide me of a coverage of atleast 35 ft and having a good speed sure does help !
    I do NOT use any demanding applications on the net , just surfing,chatting,downloads sometimes,but i do not want them to be absolutely fast and all that !
    And i have zeroed upon this Belkin N150
    Belkin : N150 Enhanced Wireless Router
    Is it worth it? Please tell me your opinion about it. Is it the best at this cost?
    And will it match my requirements?

    The latest gen N150 seems to be getting good reviews on Amazon, especially in the critical "easy to setup" category. Otherwise performance is typical for a <$30 home unit. Not stellar, but more than adequate.

    What Netgear N300 exactly? Model number please.
    Most likely I'd recommend a 300mbps Netgear over 150mbps anything- lest alone Belkin, but let's do that by the book, shall we?
