Asus WL-520gU DD-WRT Compatible WiFi Router w/ USB Print Server $30 after $20MIR, Refurb Netgear WNR834B DD-WRT Compatible WiFi N Router $26
Newegg has Asus WL-520gU Wireless Router for $45 - $5 coupon EMCLTMT76 - $10 Rebate = $30 with free shipping. Thanks pollux
They also have Netgear WNR834B Wireless N Router (refurbished) for $26 with free shipping. Thanks Selma [Discuss] Both routers support third party firmwares such as DD-WRT and Tomato (latter supported by Asus router only) for additional capabilities Price comparison is for the Asus router 33-320-023-01.jpg

As of now (10pm, 6/19/2009), the price is $37.10. if you bought at $44.99, chat with the newegg CS to get $7.89 back.[dukeboy]
It's now $35 (no coupon) but for $5 more you can buy it with the high gain antenna (6dbi) kit
Combo Deal - "D-Link DWL-R60AT Indoor 6 dBi Microstrip Antenna - Retail" Doesn't work with PROMO code and adds shipping (about $7 in my case)

now that I look at the promo page, i think we were just initially mistaken. The sale started tonight at midnight (PT), and expires in 24 hours. At the top of the promo page, it clearly states this. All other prices should be active as well. But I'm in for one!

This is very good router. I've had it for about a year, and only recently did they finally figure out the USB printer sharing function for ddwrt. It took me a while to set it up with ddwrt AND print sharing, but now it works flawlessly. I also used it with the stock firmware for a long time and never had a problem. Never ever needed to be reset or signal drops. Great router.
The rebate seems to be from Asus, which is bad. It takes the full 3-4 months and their tracking website back then was horrible, I don't if it has been changed. |

Already have 2 of these flashed with DD-WRT. Using one as a repeater bridge and one as a client bridge and they work great! Thanks for the deal!! Don't forget your Bing/FW/urlhasbeenblocked cash back if you can get it!

Apparently if you fill out the rebate online there's an option to get your $$ much faster for a $1 fee. Considering I got $1.12 Bing cash back it might be worth it!
Addendum: it looks like any rebate in an amount of $10 or more is put on a visa prepaid card, so it may be worth it just to get a straight up check anyway.
