Wow, and i thought the Linksys routers i had seen *until now* had been ugly as hell, seems i underestimated them.
I hope it was as cheap to design as it looks, not sure that's actually possible...

it's the same case as the 300n, and as an owner of one of those I can attest to it's horrible design.

the "radar dish" is particularly cheap looking. None of the antennae are either removable or capable of a large range of motion. This makes the thing difficult to put in out of the way spaces and tacky if placed where one can see it.

who cares what it looks like? oh yea apple fanboys do. keep it in ur basement or attic, it can be the size of a refrigerator as long as its cheap and has good performance.

I should mention the performance sucks too. The antenna factor was mostly important because it limited where the device could be placed, though as it happens I do have to keep the thing in my living room, so a device without a non removable fake radar dish with all the utility of 50's automobile fins would be nice.

@bombastinator, do you mean the fact it has diversity antennas, a feature of 802.11n? I don't think the "radar dish" antenna is fake.
