Cisco® (who own the Linksys brand) has announced a new Linux powered router, the WRT160NL. The new model complements the existing consumer router line-up and is essentially the next generation of the popular WRT54GL. The router provides 802.11b/g and n connectivity and is 802.11n draft 2.0 certified.

The router also has what Cisco are calling “integrated Storage Link functionality” which lets consumers connect their USB storage device to the router to create a powerful media sharing solution that enables video, photo and music sharing through the integrated media server.

Although most Linksys by Cisco router feature internal antennae the WRT160NL has external antennae. The two R-SMA antenna connectors are designed to allow tech savvy users to be more flexible in their antennae choice and placement.
