Belkin isn't just touting its new
FlyWire gear today, it's also taking the opportunity to introduce the new F5D8235-4 N+ Wireless Router, which brings with it a new design language for all of the company's networking gear. The vertically-oriented unit features four Gigabit Ethernet port, a USB port to attach storage devices, push-button WPS security, and front-panel icons that turn from blue to amber if there's a problem on the network. Not bad for $120, but we'll save our love for the 5GHz gear. (There's also an N unit without Gigabit ports and a pair of G routers, but really, who cares?) In addition, there's a matching $99 USB WiFi adapter that shares the glossy black finish, and while we're at it, let's throw in three Powerline kits: a $179 three-port 200Mbps adapter,, a $149 200Mbps adapter two-oack, and a $99 85Mbps two-pack. Photos of the stick and Powerline gear after the break.

Sex in a box.
think i'll buy the 'two-oack' !
so.... where is the little black ninja?
What is 'WPS' security?
I like the "blue to amber" color change in case there's a problem. Right out of the ol' Homeland Security Handbook. Makes me feel more comfortable with my threat level should there be a chemical attack/bad cat-5 cable.
I refuse to comment on this because it isn't Apple-related.
I kid, I kid.
You know what I would love to see? A router that has a LED off switch that turns off ALL the blinky flashy LED's with the exception of a dim RED power LED. My living room is so bright at night because of the LED's from my HD-DVD player, my TV's standby LED, my WII's LED, my Netgear's set of blinky LED's, my Western Digital's external HD LED, my MacBook Pro's LED, my UPS's set of level LED's, my LCD's standby LED, my OWC external FW800 cage's LED, my Direct TV's receiver's LED, and the blink lights on my cable modem that I need to shut the door to my bedroom to get any type of normal sleep. Because its like fraking day in there.
At this point when I'm watching a movie I've resorted to electrical taping most of the above so it doesn't distract from the movie. It really is ridiculous how many and bright indicator lights are now a days.
Really, if you're leaving devices like your TV and HD-DVD on standby, you should switch them off and save energy.
All I leave on is my TV cable box (to record), my router, and my cable modem, and mobile / iPod on charge. And that is every week or so.

Just looks like they flipped my N1 wireless router on its side and added a base to it.
Man I love that router.
I see...USB port for storage but no print server support?
Will it do tomato?
