COTD misleading on routers

Why doesn't COTD share the model number of the Belkin router it is offering?

This makes it look like it is a dual-band router since it will handle 11a, but if you go to the Belkin website and compare it to Belkin's website, it is actually this:
http://www.belkin.com/au/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id…

This is not a dual-band router that will support 11a.
And this is not the first time COTD has advertised 11a/b/g/n on a single band touer either.

(the other alternative is this: http://www.belkin.com/au/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id…, but the lights on the pictures are not the same)

By the way, yes I know it's COTD and you will probably be like "well they do this sort of crap all the time". I'm just venting here.

  nup, look at the lights.
  
  The dual band Belkin has 4 lights at the top, the single band Belkin has 1 - the COTD one has 1 as well. It's the single band router based on the pic.
  
  and COTD looks like they've copied the picture and turned the brightness up high

    oh yes true
    as well as the words above the lights
    COTD matches yours as it is Long then Short
    my one is short then long
    
    you are right

COTD usually doesn't post the model numbers… they post the specs but no model number so its slightly harder to check the price I reckon.
