Looks like Linksys finally decided to make their routers look like something that you would actually want to put in plain sight, which would make sense as that is the best placement for a router.  I constantly hear from my girlfriend how ugly our router is with its high gain antenna’s sitting on top of our nice cherry wood entertainment center so I think I might have a better chance of her being alright with the new router (WRT310N and WRT160N) pictured above next to my close friend and current Internet router (WRT54G)  No pricing available yet but the WRT160N is supposed to be sub 100 while the WRT310N isn’t probable because of some features such as QoS and fun stuff like that.

This one is kinda fun.  It is a router that has a range of a quarter mile!  It has the highest gain antenna’s that are allowed by the FCC to blast your 802.11b/g network all the way down the street.  As usual it has all the security of a normal router which you might actually use since your range is so high.  This seems like a great idea for those of us who have 5,000+ square foot house so not people like me.  Personally my WRT54G Linksys router with some high gain antenna’s do the trick for our house as we have no dead spots and no spots with less then excellent reception.  But I still wanted to post this as I thought it was pretty bad ass.  For $284 it could be yours from my favorite store ThinkGeek!

Not that I have ever had any luck with D-Link routers looks like everyone is in the game for that fancy OLED display of your stats.  I think that this is a great idea.  Seems they like to jack up the price on the ‘gaming’ routers just because they suppose QoS so this one is $240 and of course 802.11N standard.

Looks like Belkin has a pretty good product line these days. Although I am pretty partial to Linksys routers i love the OLED screen on this router to display statistics and let you know how your network is running at a glance. It also looks a little more stylish then the Linksys routers but I am more about functionality then form with routers. $199 for now and it can be yours. Looks like this is the trend as D-Link just came out with a OLED screen one too, I imagine that Linksys is far behind the game. Belkin N1 Vision
