25 Products We Can't Live Without

Sure, the Belkin N1 Vision is the fastest, most reliable wireless router I've ever used, with gigabit ethernet ports and three antennas juicing a draft-n Wi-Fi radio. The real fun comes when you start reading the LCD status screen on the front of the router. Dials, gauges, and graphs show you how fast your downloads are running, exactly what's connected to your network, and how much data each computer is sucking down. For geeks, it's a guilty pleasure akin to pushing a performance car past the redline--all without having to get up from your chair. For additional information, read our review, which found the N1 Vision less than perfect due to its lack of an 802.11n-only mode at the time.
