Instead of boring little dots you get a backlit graphic for each function which shows clearly what the router is doing. Belkin is so proud of the router’s status indicators that it has submitted a patent for them. The triplet of non-removable aerials indicates MIMO is in action for wireless operations but there’s not much to see at the back, though, as you have the standard set of four switched Fast Ethernet ports, an ADSL 2/2+ modem port and a unit reset button. Its row of bright blue status indicators have a lot more to say than the average wireless router.
