EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the number of Wi-Fi devices in the home grows, new applications on
those devices are driving the demand for Wi-Fi bandwidth ever higher.
Belkin’s new line of Wi-Fi routers are focused on maximizing the bandwidth
available for user applications and delivering a superior user experience
from any point in the house.
Belkin commissioned Tolly to benchmark the performance of its wireless
LAN (WLAN) routers in an actual residence and compare that performance
against comparable products from other leading home networking
vendors. All tests for a given benchmark were run on the same day to
minimize variability from environmental factors. The testing consisted of
multiple locations, averaging the results of the four router orientations at
each point to arrive at the reported metrics.
