Belkin loyal users can now be happy with new Belkin’s introduction N900 DB simultaneous dual band gigabit router. What’s new with this new Belkin N900 router compared with the previous Belkin N750 DB?
In some of online retails Belkin N750 doesn’t receive many positive reviews from the users (averagely 3.2 out of five stars), even though it doesn’t reflect the actual performance of the product. Some reviews seem to be biased from its competitors. Many users thank to the Gigabit and the two USB ports (which let you attach both storage and printer together for sharing). Mostly all the routers with USB port is used for hosting an external USB disk storage, unfortunately not many can be used to host a USB printer. The good thing with the capability of hosting a USB printer is that you don’t need to spend more money for separate print-server to host a printer. Or you don’t need to host the printer to the Computer as traditionally you share a printer.
Gigabit interfaces (both LAN and WAN ports) and USB port are the standard features for all wireless routers which fall into high performance category including this new Belkin N900 DB and the N750 DB routers. But, not many high performance wireless routers are equipped with two USB ports to host both printer and storage together. You can compare with Asus RT-N56U Black diamond or new Netgear WNDR45000 routers which also include two USB ports.
The new technology improvements are the speed and the antenna technologies. Belkin N900 DB adopts new wireless 450Mbs each band both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, the ultimate speed in wireless technology with multiple spatial data streams to aggregate the bandwidth. The other thing is the number of internal antennas used. N900 DB includes 6 internal antennas while N750 DB includes only 5 antennas. Both routers use new Multi-beam antenna technology for optimized video streaming from multiple devices in larger homes, maximum data rate throughput and minimizing dead spots.
Belkin’s exclusive MultiBeam antenna technology gives you maximum throughput while minimizing dead spots for optimized video streaming from multiple devices, virtually anywhere in your home. Belkin N900 DB includes Intelli-Stream which automatically prioritizes the gaming and video streaming traffic.
