"If you have a hard time configuring your router \u2014 or maybe it's just a pain in the neck \u2014 a new touch-screen router aims to make setting up Internet simpler and faster than the traditional method. \nCompany Securifi has introduced a wireless N Router and range extender called Almond. The $80 router does not require a computer in order to set it up. Simply use the touch-screen to configure it. Securifi says Almond is the first touch-screen router. \nThis might be handy if you're setting up an Internet connection from another room, or if your computer has a virus and you need to replace an Internet connection. \nThe Almond was introduced at the 2012 CES this past January. Almond also says users have no need to worry about security with the product because Wi-Fi Protected Setup issues have already been addressed in-factory. \n\u201CMany manufacturers are ignoring this problem by enabling WPS by default,\u201D Ram Malasani, president of Securifi, said in a statement. \u201CAlmond ships with WPS initially disabled, and directs users to select a timed enable \u2014 allowing just enough time to connect to the router, then disable automatically in order to increase wireless security.\u201D\nUsing Almond will ensure your wireless router is kept out of Google\u2019s Wi-Fi location database, which is a privacy issue for some users. \nAlmond stats:\n\nCan connect up to 50 users\n1 WAN, 2 LAN ports\n2.8\" display\nEquipped with 802.11n MIMO tech, Almond supports speeds of up to 300Mbps.\nRange is &gt;100 meters\n\nOnce it's configured, Almond's touch screen can be put to other uses \u2014 future updates will allow it to function as a digital photo frame. \nThe Almond is available on Amazon, Newegg.com and Micro Center. \nDo you think the touch-screen wireless router is a useful product?
