Belkin N1 Vision: Wireless Router for Control Freaks

Belkin offers another interesting twist on a commodity product with its N1 wireless router.... Instead you get a heads up on various network info: Broadband speed, transfer speed across the network, a breakdown of who's connected and what they have been up to for the last day (great for catching little Jimmy's P2P habit).

BelkinrouterBelkin offers another interesting twist on a commodity product with its N1 wireless router. As the name might suggest, the N1 supports 802.11n (draft 2.0). It also sports four Gigabit ethernet ports. But the gimmick here is the display. No incomprehensible flashing LEDs here. Instead you get a heads up on various network info: Broadband speed, transfer speed across the network, a breakdown of who's connected and what they have been up to for the last day (great for catching little Jimmy's P2P habit).

Even without the display, a Gigabit, draft 802.11n router isn't bad for $200. Coming soon.
