The wireless router that doesn't get out of bed for less than $200

Cisco Subnet's eyes were drawn today by the shiny chic-looking router on Cisco's home page - Cisco Linksys Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router. And we're not the only ones to admire its supermodel curve-appeal (c'mon, you can't say the same about many routers on the market today), Greg Michetti has a review of the product in his blog at Canoe Technology.

He writes:

Now I’m all for functionality ahead of style but those drab, blue/grey clunky-looking home Linksys routers and switches seemed to look out of place; even when placed next to those even homelier home modems hustled by Shaw, Rogers and Telus.

However, the new Linksys WRT610N Dual-N band (around $200) wireless router may change all that in more ways than one. This curvy new, dark-metallic-blue-Star-Trek-like, Gigabit-speed unit actually looks cool when placed on the desktop of your home office.
