The WRT400N Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router is a lower cost version of Cisco’s WRT610N with two radios for 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and a four-port 10/100 switch.

The WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router has a single dual-band radio and four port 10/100/1000 switch.

Cisco also added the WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band. Its differentiation from the WGA600N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter is that the WET610N is "optimized for streaming viewo to almost eliminate dropped frames" using "enhanced Quality of Service".

The WRT400N, WRT320N and WET610N are all available now at estimated street prices of $149.99, $129.99 and $99.99 respectively.
