Belkin 802.11n router with network monitor display
Have a burning desire to watch your WLAN statistics instead the latest YouTube video? Belkin can help with their N1 Vision 802.11n MIMO router. Along with the extended range and speed of a draft-N (v 2.0) router, the N1 Vision offers up an integrated greyscale LCD to show network statistics like bandwidth and currently connected devices. Aside from the wireless functionality, there are four Gigabit Ethernet ports for any wired devices in the vicinity.
The N1 Vision supports various wireless security standards: Wi-Fi Protected Setup™; WPA™, WPA2™; 64-/128-bit WEP encryption; and multiple SSID. Plus you've still got backwards compatibility with 802.11 a, b and g. Watch for availability later this month at an MSRP of $199.99.

It has support for .11a ? That is odd since a is a completely different frequency to all the other standards.

You're completely correct as it uses the 2.4 GHz frequency, not 5.8 GHz. I misread the press release where it says "802.3ab support". Fixed and thanks!

It looks sexy, but for that kind of money I'd rather have the USB port (for external storage and/or a printer) of the Apple Airport Extreme N. LCDs are pretty, USB is useful.
