i'm about to buy that belkin router. Only thing i'm concerned about is the wireless standard, like you pointed out.

The IEEE is responsible for 802.xx standards, but had trouble locking down 802.11n. Eventually the WiFi alliance decided to stop waiting, and started certifying "draft N" routers. Upgrade paths to the full standard would be the responsibility of the supplier, I am not sure what Belkin did for your current model. Though that is a past issue, 802.11n is fully standardized now.

The newer one I suggested is current, so it should meet the spec. Note I don't own it, so I am only pointing that it has quite good test results. It also appears to be reasonably priced. Test results are here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless ... r-reviewed 5 Ghz was not a strong point for the Belkin, so that is something to keep in mind.

Also, you said earlier that this class of router usually have a wireless standard twice faster... what's this standard you were talking about ? is it really worth the difference ?

The 2x difference is what is shown on the performance tests with 802.11n. If you look at 2.4 Ghz downlink speed on routers built by mainstream companies, you will find that the test results range between 20 mb/s and 50 mb/s (again this is based on smallnetbuilder testing). The FVS318N came in at 31.2. Whether this is worth the money depends on what you use WiFi for.
