Belkin N1 Vision

I found myself in Best Buy a few weeks ago staring at the Belkin N1 Vision and daydreaming about how I could sabotage my own wireless router to justify buying this one.  My desire was not without reason.  This router has a lot of great features including CD-less installation and a vertical orientation to reduce its footprint on your desk/floor/whatever.  The really big improvement that they have made over other routers is adding a screen.  The display shows all sorts of useful information such as upload and download speeds, current wireless users connected, and activity over the past 24 hours.  This makes the router an valuable part of your internet setup and not just a box with blinking lights under your desk.
