Expect to see plenty more announcements like this as the week of CES coverage kicks into high gear. Even as the Digital Trends team makes its way to Las Vegas, Belkin is stepping up today with the reveal of a new wireless router, the Advance N900 DB. It’s a dual-band N+ router that uses Belkin’s Multibeam technology to support speeds of up to 900 Mbps. That’s not the only reason why you’re looking at a $199.99 asking price, however.

IntelliStream QoS is one of the big features, allowing the router to automatically prioritize video and gaming streams to ensure as lag-free an experience as possible. Also helping matters is a built-in 600MHz multi-thread processor to manage high-bandwidth multitasking. In addition, the N900 sports a pair of USB 2.0 ports meant for network printer and storage connections.

Is all of that worth the steep asking price? You’ll have to wait for some on-the-ground CES reports if you want to know more. Belkin unveiled the N900 today, and it will be on display all week at CES.

Google rejects alarming report that says its Search AI tools are unsafe for kids
The company says it couldn’t reproduce many of the responses cited and argues that the testing doesn’t reliably measure product safety
Google AI Mode on mobile and desktop

Google has rejected a new report that labels its AI-powered Search features an “unacceptable risk” for children and teenagers.

Common Sense Media’s Youth AI Safety Institute gave AI Overviews and AI Mode its lowest overall rating. The two tools performed poorly against seven of the institute’s eight AI safety principles and failed every category involving potentially severe harm. Google says those findings came from searches that don’t resemble how people normally use its products.
