My purchase this weekend. The old modem was getting a bit dated and was having some issues trying to connect, so I figured I'd upgrade.
I just wanted one unit so I replaced the aging Netgear WGT624 108Mbps wide area WiFi with the version 2 belkin N1 Vision.
The N1 Wifi doesn't run at the 108Mbps (not that those speed were achievable when you were more than 10m from the Netgear) but the N1 has heaps better reception and distance. It has great reception through double brick and has usable signal about 200 metres from the farmhouse. This maybe a curse if your neighbours are closeby.
The hardwire RJ45 connections run at a claimed 1 Gbps with some new algorithm collision detection thingy that seems to work quite well. It has a nice little display and three pointy aerials on the unit too.
So far so good.
