With Bluetooth-enabled devices taking off this year, (slowly, slowly), it's inevitable that more and more Bluetooth adaptors will appear on the market. We reviewed the Gigabyte GN-BTD01 (February 2003, page 44) and now the Belkin F8T001 USB Bluetooth adaptor.

Belkin is not normally a name you'd associate with leading edge networking products, but in the case of the Pre-N range they've really grabbed the bull by the horns and delivered some excellent gear. The Pre-N networking range is based on the 802.11g standard so it's backward compatible with 11b, but like some other 'turbo' networking gear the Pre-N stuff also offers well over the 802.11g 54Mbps data throughput with 108Mbps.

Seven USB ports delivered with characteristic Belkin quality and price.

Belkin’s N1 Vision is an eye catching wireless modem router that combines a sleek design profile with big speeds.

When we plugged in the Belkin F5D7130au, we could see that it maintained a robust wireless connection at both close and greater indoor distances. It didn't take long to get up and running - the software is built into the device itself, accessible by pointing your browser to its IP address. A further advantage of having built-in configuration software is that the F5D7130au can be used with both PCs and Macs.

One of the better instructional booklets, Belkin have supplied a manual and a three step quick start guide - easy to follow, and even easier to set up

Innovation and solid performance in an attractive package make the N1 Vision stand out, but it’s expensive
