Cisco Releases New Linksys E-Series - Very Simple Design

"If you dig the stylish look on the Linksys E4200 802.11n router but prefer something more wallet-friendly, then Cisco's latest range of home routers and switches will likely suit your taste. Gone are the curved grooves and blinking LEDs on the top, but these routers -- ranging from $59.99 to $159.99 -- still go about their usual wireless business at up to 300Mbps, with additional simultaneous dual-band support on the pricier E2500 and E3200. Like their predecessors, you'll also find a refreshed, feature-packed Cisco Connect software suite in the box, which promises to make installation and management a whole lot easier."

No more blinking lights?  Just a nice sleek simple look?  I guess I could get used to that.  And the price isn't too shabby either.  I think they're onto something here.  These actually tempt me to replace my perfectly good router at home for no good reason.  Now that's marketing!  Follow the link for more detailed specs.
