LITTLEWHITEDOG has completed a review of several Belkin wireless networking components. The F5D6130 Wireless Access Point, F5D6050 Wireless USB Adapter, and the F5D6020 Wireless PCMCIA Adapter.

The Belkin 11Mbps Wireless Access Point (WAP) is designed to act as a bridge between your existing wired network, and your wireless devices. It has been built around the assumption that you already have a wired network in place, be it a corporate sized LAN with routers and switches or just a small office / home network with a couple of routers, hubs, or gateways.
