Engadget has written an article about a very nice offering from Linksys that has really captured my interest. Besides being based on the extremely fast (but not ratified) new n format, it has the ability to jump frequencies automatically for best perfoamce… even jumping bands. Plus the real coup de grais… a USB plug to convert any external USB 2.0 Hard Drive into a NAS. I think I need areplacement for my DLink di-604…. Too bad they won’t be out till AFTER Christmas.
Linksys has a new one in the oven, the WRT600N. The “DualBand” 802.11n router covers 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies simultaneously to fight interference, and claims 802.11g pwnage of the 12x variety. The router also sports the usual 4 port Ethernet hub, along with a fancy USB port that allows you to hook up a hard drive or thumbdrive and have it automatically transmogrified into NAS storage. No word on price, but Linksys should be getting official on this thing at CES 2007 in January. Click to see more views of it at Engadget.
