D-Link launches Quadband DIR-855 Wireless N Router

Perpetual HD media streaming and online deathmatches got your current router in a bind? D-Link's looking to solve said quandary by introducing the Quadband DIR-855 Wireless N Router, which quite simply "supports true concurrent 802.11n transmission over both 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels at the same time." Granted, you'll need a wireless chipset capable of detecting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels or either the company's own DWA-160 USB adapter to take advantage, but we suppose that's the price you pay for being able to "segregate your network by application." You'll also find 5 gigabit Ethernet ports for those times when only wires will suffice, and the OLED display up top keeps things flashy, too. Expect this one to land in May for a stiff £169.99 ($337).

The only other modem / router I can think of that comes close comparison in features next to the DIR-855 is the Linksys WRT-600n..

I don't understand why every is brining up comparisons to the apple?? The biggest feature of this router is DUAL BAND!?!?@? If it's not dual band, then don't bother comparing it.
