Belkin shows off 802.11n router, wireless USB hub

It looks like the folks at Belkin are trying to carve out a niche for themselves as a manufacturer of some of the meanest wireless gear around. Today, they're hitting us with the old one-two-punch, showing off a new 802.11n router in addition to a freshly-minted wireless USB hub. The 802.11n router, the N1 Vision, packs that draft 2.0 that you've come to expect, three antennas on top to ensure a strong signal and an LCD screen that gives readouts of a number of stats relating to wireless speed, network bandwidth and the users on your network. That très futuristic look is gonna cost you though: the N1 Vision will retail for 200 clams when it lands at the end of the month.

Meanwhile, in the world of wireless USB connectivity, Belkin is ready to unleash a four-port wireless USB hub, the F5U302, which it claims will offer full USB 2.0 speed (480Mbps) within a 30-foot radius. While there are probably a limited number of applications for this sort of tech, fans of wireless USB will appreciate the F5U302's fancy design, which represents a marked improvement over Belkin's previous entry into the wireless USB game.
