Available in late July for $199.

    looks pretty cool.. belkins routers aren’t normally any good? Never used them so I wouldn’t know. I’m a sucker for bells and whistles though so I might look into this.

    wow, thats sweet looking. my router is hidden away anyways though. Airport Extreme 802.11n , it was 170 bucks, 30 more aint bad for this thing, but the Airport Extreme software and setup utilities on the Mac cant be beat
