Linksys added two new Draft N routers to its Ultra RangePlus line that couldn't look any different from the company's tried-and-true design. The WRT160N and the WRT310N ditch the outdated Linksys blue facing and introduce curves to case, while also doing away with those pesky antennas (these MIMO routers use internal antennas). They boast a sleek look and are priced right. The WRT160N costs US$100, and the WRT310N adds Gigabit Ethernet for a reasonable US$130. The two routers will also begin shipping with an updated version of the Linksys EasyLink Advisor (LELA) configuration software, which helps end users set up and manage their network, later this quarter.
