The router is now 129.98 at Staples... are Belkin products any good.

Belkin wireless stuff is very good. It's got's great range, but it's no frills (no external antenna support, WEP isn't very efficient, etc). Great for the home user.

bump fixed some stuff, sorry you had to price match compusa's price for the pc card I was tired...

Uhh, how do you get both rebates? It looks like they both use the same rebate form, which says limit one per household.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!

Here's what I did:

$130 Router
+ $60 USB Network Adapter
- $31 PM on the router @ Buy.com
- $17 PM on the adapter @ Buy.com
- $15 coupon I had
+ $10 tax
------------
$137 out the door
- $30 Router rebate
- $20 Adapter rebate
- $3 Staples business rewards card
------------
$84!!!


Then I'm going to auction my old router and cards for ~$65 (what they're currently bringing). Total out of pocket is $19!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

If you go instore, the form that prints out at the register prints TWICE and assigns each one a different rebate number, even though they go to the same address. The rebate number specifically says "One per household for THIS rebate number." So we should be fine.
