Linksys outs Linux-based media server Wireless-N router

Have thing for Linux? Need a Wireless-N router that happens to work as a media server, too? Then Linksys has what you’re looking for, nerd. Say hello to the WRT160NL.

With two external R-SMA antenna connectors, the WRT160NL is a rather beefy router with a plethora of goodies. What could those other goodies be? How about support for read and write modes FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS? Perhaps the 400Mhz processor, 8GB of memory and 32MB of DDRAM will entice the media buff in you. There’s also a USB port and ability to stream content to UPnP AV digital media streamers. The WRT160NL is shipping now for $120.
