No sé. Lo de pillar el Belkin era el más caro que tenian, Y se supone que da un 50 % más de cobertura que un router tradicional, pero eso lo tengo que comprobar, si no va bien con el emule internet y el portatil en modo wifi lo devuelvo, la idea es establecer una especie de red con los ordenatas a traves del router.
A ver si soy capaz de configurarlo.

's Faster, Cheaper MIMO Router
Belkin is first to market with a MIMO Wi-Fi router for small offices and homes that cracks the $100 price barrier. The best part: It works.

Most of us know that, when it comes to WLAN equipment, if we want more speed and range, we must pay more money. That's certainly been the case with Wi-Fi equipment based on Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) technology, which has been available in pre-standard form for quite a while.
That's changing, however, with the release of Belkin's new Wireless G+MIMO router. Unlike the company's previous Pre-N router (review here), a similar device from Linksys (review here) and one from Netgear using different MIMO technology, Belkin's new router costs less than a hundred bucks.
Belkin's latest MIMO router is based on a new, less expensive chipset from Airgo Networks. A router based on the same chipset was just released by Linksys and don't be surprised if more vendors follow suit.
In other words, MIMO, which eventually will be part of the next-generation Wi-Fi standard, 802.11n, is becoming mainstream even though it's not yet a standard.
The Same, But Different
This new arrival is a slightly down-contented version, with only two antennae instead of three in the Pre-N router. And Belkin has been careful to limit expectations about what to expect.
The box copy for the older Pre-N model claimed, "Excellent coverage…, 800 percent farther than 802.11g…, 600 percent faster than 802.11g." By contrast, the box of the G+ MIMO model only brags about, "Very good throughput…, up to 1,000 feet coverage…, 2x faster than 802.11g."
Based on my testing, though, Belkin might want to revise its G+ MIMO description a little more to the superlative side.
(MIMO, in case you're wondering, uses multiple antennae -and, depending on which of the three principle companies you talk to, either multiple radios for those antennae or just a single radio, which is Airgo's and Belkin's approach. For a more complete explanation of MIMO, click here.)
The G+ MIMO equipment I received from Belkin had driver and client software for its PC Card Wi-Fi interface that was still beta. The router software was shrink-wrapped. Installation of either is utterly brainless, as the software does everything but physically take you by the hand and click the mouse for you. Although I tested with security turned off, the security wizard will walk you through WEP or WPA setups and it provides both a general and a restricted access password capability for trusted users and guests.
Tested on a Dell Inspiron 9600, both the Pre-N and G+ MIMO equipment greatly exceeded the coverage typically available from my Netgear WG602v2 802.11g wireless Access Point. I can't verify 1,000 feet because standing in the middle of the roadway nearly a fifth of a mile from my house would have probably earned me at least the attention of the local police. I can tell you that 200 feet wasn't a problem. At a distance of about 120 feet, the Pre-N router was also able to see my neighbor's secure Apple wireless network while the G+ MIMO router was not.
Despite Belkin's claim that the G+MIMO equipment isn't as fast as the Pre-N gear, my tests didn't show that to be the case at all. When configured with G+ MIMO, the Inspiron actually connected more quickly to a MPEG movie on my server's hard drive (by about 1.5 seconds) and I was able to physically transfer the 887MB mpeg2 file from the server 25.4 percent faster.
¿Es bueno lo que ponen de el?
