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.

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

The Unwired Garden of the Future at Sydney Olympic Park was an unprecedented Display Garden at Sydney’s ABC Gardening Australia Festival in August 2005. Designed by Andrew Davies (Landscape Design Director of Dig Design Ideas Gardens) and PC Authority magazine, it was built to represent any outdoor space (balcony/courtyard or a section of a backyard) where the user can leave the confines of the indoors and go outside to use the computer.
