At risk of sounding silly- is anyone wrestling with the appearance of
early 11n products? Contrast any of the current offerings with the MIMO
antennas versus the likes of the Cisco 1130 (integrated antennas) from
an aesthetics perspective, and the 11n stuff seems ugly and utilitarian.
For us, we often need to get the architect's blessing on "fixtures" like
this in new spaces, and the 1130 has been an easy sell because it's not
more obtrusive than a smoke detector. I don't see any of the current
crop off 11n APs being considered visually appealing to anyone other
than us geek types.
 
I wonder if 11n future APs will be able to do MIMO but still be
"pretty"?
