Vizio XWR100 Wireless n Router Ships Third Quarter 2010 for $100

When someone says Vizio, more than likely the first reaction is to start asking about HDTVs. Today, Vizio has announced that they’re going to release a wireless router with WiFi /n capabilities, which will feature (at least to our eyes) the same aesthetic approach as their HDTVs. The router is all set to feature the faster wireless standard, but it also shoves a few other features in there that make us question what we’ll spend our next $100 on.

The Vizio XWR100 has the same dual-band WiFi n functions that you’d expect. However, it also has the ability to prioritize its network traffic, based on time-sensitive audio and video streaming, and according to your usage at the time. On the back, you’ll find our 100Mbps network ports for those local networks we’re sure you’ll be utilizing, plus a USB port that will allow you to connect network-attached storage devices.

While there’s no direct time line here, Vizo claims that the new wireless router will be all set for shipments some time in the third quarter. As for price, it’ll cost you a cool $100 to get your hands on this shiny box, but we’re pretty sure that you could spend $100 on worse things.
