I work in the networking industry and it is interesting to note that networking gadgets like routers are coming out with displays.
This is not the first router with display. Early this month Dlink made an announcement about their draft 11n 2.0 DIR-660 router with OLED display. http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=625
If we compare the Belkin Vision router and DIR-660, the Belkin casing,design looks better.Nice work! But I wonder how the actual performance of Belkin router is going to be..
The above link in Tom's Hardware compares the performance of different routers in the market today and DIR-655 tops the list for routing performance, P2P simultaneous connections and feature list.
My advise would be to wait for Tom's Hardware to review and rate the Belkin N1 vision router before spending 199$..
Router is not about looks since once it is configured properly, you hardly have to touch it and notice it. It is all about routing performance, automated QoS, wirelss performance and stability. Good looks is a bonus :-)
I own a DIR-655 which is 11n 2.0 draft, Works with Vista!, automatic QoS and has very good coverage for my home + GigE. All this for just $115! I won't be changing my router box in a long time and since I installed it, I never had to reset it even once!!
I always thought that the best networking gadgets would be from Linksys but I am impressed with Dlink products these days! Belkin is coming up with very unique designs for routers which is very creative. But the wireless performance is not very stable and rather pricy.
But all these innovations are a healthy sign of growth!Keep up the good work!
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.

The DIR-660 claims all the features similar to DIR-655. If I assume DIR-660 is DIR-655 with OLED in addition,my guess would be that the performance of DIR-660 should be very good.
