Sure looks good... but $200 just for novelty? No thanks, there's better performance to be had for that money.

It's good for seeing which computers are clogging up the bandwidth, and if people are stealing wifi.

That's what you've got the usual control interface for. It's nice to have an on-device display, sure, but it's not like it offers unique functionality.

Very pretty. If only Belkin products weren't so over-priced, poorly designed and backed up by tech support that sucks harder than most sucky things.

OK, I'm scratching my head on this one...

I had no idea people watched their routers. I thought they were just buried and forgotten, at least for folks who don't live in 2m x 3m dorm rooms.

Is this something people do after a few blunts?

It looks neat, but seriously, where's the market for a router like this???
