Here are a couple pictures of the new router. This is an engineering model only!

It would be slick if this was a PoE device so I didn't have to dangle a power cord off it. My options for placement would be a good bit more broad.

looks slick. we're all clamoring to know what it does, aside from... route.

it seems to have one only eth port! where's the trick? O_o

looks pretty slick. hopefully it'll be easier to order several of those along with some promotional content to help spread word and distribute more.

It sure looks great!

and it sure is much more portable of the Lynksys... however, that would lose the ability to connect wired computers? So it would be more likely to use it as a second wi fi router?

make sure the antenna is removeable so we can screw on larger ones!

POE++

I'm eager to learn about range expansion possibilities.

will the router be rebrandable or come stickerless for ISPs to provide to their customers? Could there be a version that plugs straight in to an ADSL splitter, so you have your personal router and kit off one splitter and from a separate splitter, perhaps at a different phone point just plug in this device?

Really slick. I think I\'ll probably buy another FON router when this comes out.

I'd agree support of PoE via 802.3af is a must in order to allow the access point (with only 1 port it isn't exactly a router anymore) to be closer reach potential FONeros, WDS could help as well. Also, just a thought, but it would be nice to have a FXS port (VoIP). That would up the ante on the social aspect of FON and connect Linus and Bills on a voice network. I don't mind if the unit is "cheaper" for FON to purchase, but hopefully the hardware is at the level (if not higher than the Linksys), e.g. 32MB RAM for future, etc

We need one wire port at least.

It looks a bit like an APPLE, isn't it?

What will it cost?

Make sure u make a version with a lithium rechargable battery so it's also portable!
So you can connect to a port within a office building to their LAN while surfing the net on your PPC. Check my forum entry http://www.router-forum.de/thread.php?threadid=41651&sid=5d6f46cbdee92163d4cac8b4acde3b50
