here's a novel new WiFi router and WDS repeater/range extender, also a client bridge to ethernet mode. I've not seen another yet that uses a built-in touch screen (color LCD) for admin - setup. To simplify the lay person's setup experience.

Pretty inexpensive. Doesn't have gigE LAN ports - not a big deal as rarely does one obtain > 100Mbps net yield at the IP layer, on WiFi at any practical range (IP layer, not the WiFi bit rate). But wired PCs should connect to a cheap gigE switch, if there are to be large file transfers among PCs and/or a NAS.
But the manufacturer is a newbie and the product is unique. We geeks wouldn't likely choose it, but it is an interesting idea for the majority of consumers.
