- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 4 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Wi-Fi Speed: 300 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- General
- Product Name: N600 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
- Brand: Belkin
- Model Number: F9K1102
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WEP, WPA, WPA2 (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT, SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Security Features: Parental control, WEP, WPA, WPA2
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Connected Devices: 0
- Number of Antennas: 0
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 4 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)
- Routing Protocol: false (The protocol used for communicating and distributing information in a computer network.)
- Transport Protocol: true (The protocol used for connection-oriented transmissions, flow control, etc. within the transport layer of the network.)
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- DOCSIS Compliant: false
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
- Features
- App Compatible: false (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
- Beamforming: true (A signal processing technique that enables a router to focus a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. The router determines where a connected device in the network is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. This can result in faster and higher quality data transfer as well as reduced signal interference.)

Q: How many wireless devices (connections) can link to this router?
A: The Belkin N600 router is designed to handle up to 16 simultaneous wireless connections. Regards, Belkin Support
Q: What is the dual band feature and what do you need in order to utilize it?
A: Dual band routers use both the 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz radio bands. This provides two different wifi streams to the router. Devices using the 802.11g specification can only transfer at up to 54Mbs and if you have one on your wifi network, that will limit the speed of all devices on that network. An 802.11n device can go up to 450Mbs (some routers are limited to 300Mbs or less) so if you have a dual band 802.11n device had have it used the 5.0Ghz band it will go at full speed while your older 802.11g devices use the 2.4Ghz band.
A: I have Windows 8.1 and it runs perfectly fine.
Q: how do I know what band I'm on 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
A: By default the 5ghz band is noted with a 5G at the end of the network name. If you see this on the name of your network you are connected to then you are connected to the 5ghz network. Regards, Belkin Support
A: The processor requirements are only for the included software. The router itself will function with any computer via a wired connection or with any wireless computer that is wireless B, G or N capable. Regards, Belkin support
Q: Can I plug my USB wireless modem into this unit and serve 2 wireless-capable laptops?
A: Unfortunately no. The Belkin N600 router only accepts connections from Ethernet enabled modems such as cable modems or DSL modems. Regards, Belkin Support
Q: what is the differencce between N600 Dual-Band Wireless-N+ Router and N300?
A: The N600 router is Dual Band capable meening it runs on both the 2.4 and 5ghz bands. The N300 router is single band and only runs on the 2.4ghz band. Regards, Belkin Support
Q: Up-grade from wireless G to N
A: The N router will definitely help as Wireless N has a longer range and faster signal than G does. You can either use your new router in access point mode and connect it to your old router like that or just connect it directly to your router and use it as a second router. The wireless networks will not interfere with each other as each have different SSID's and are 2 separate wireless networks. Regards, Belkin Support
