Belkin 802.11b wireless router $8.99+Shipping on Buy.com

I want it.. but I'm missing $3.50 from my basket to quality for free shipping. I want to add something that's just priced right and is useful or cool.
 
Unfortunately I don't think that would quality. All the items need to quality for free shipping. Since music seems to be downloadable I doubt it would quality as part of the $25 free shipping.
 
okay guys. Just a heads up. Too sweeten the deal, there is a $10 rebate (not $20. Read the fine print) for the router! You make some $$ for this deal.

$10 Rebate

Cheers
 
sure it's not $20 rebate? The rebate form says:

$10.00 Rebate applies to the following Belkin products: F5D7011, F5D7001, F5D7010, F5D7000, F5D7050, F5D6020, F5D6001, F5D6050, F5D5000, F5D5010, F5D5050, F5D5131-5, F5D5131-8, F5D4070, F5D4050. $20.00 Rebate applies to the following Belkin products: F5D7231-4, F5D7230-4, F1UP0001, F5D7130, F5D6231-4, F5D6130, F5D5231-4. Purchase must be made between August 1, 2004 and June 1, 2005.

And the router we're buying is the
Belkin 802.11b Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router - F5D6231-4, which is under the $20 section

Unless they mixed the list around ;O. Either way, with the rebate this is a nice deal. Final price for me with shipping and 5% tax (MD) $16.77 (shipping was $6.98 for 3-5 day). Make $3 with rebate..not bad. If it is really just $10 rebate, a $6.77 wireless router that i needed anyway; not complaining. 🙂

Wow. I don't need it, but I might have to buy it now.

I think you are right soupy. I overlook it.

 
thanks 🙂
Didn't need this but couldn't resist since I have a $5 gift certificate. Total will be $1.97 for 3 routers AR for me.
 
Even better. Buy the router, and this wireless NIC. Total is over $25 for free shipping.

The same rebate form qualifies for a $10 rebate on the NIC. I just called RebatesHQ and they confirmed that as long as the products are different, the rebate is good.

$8.99 + $19.99 = 28.98 - $10 mir - $20 mir = make $1.02 🙂
 
The wireless g's are down around the same prices ($30 AR for a g router and wireless NIC from Staples or Officemax).

g's provide noticeably faster throughput (I sure noticed it on my two networks) and better WPA security (I would not rely on WEP encryption anymore, though there are ways to beef it up such as using MAC filtering).

bottom line .. I'd forego the b's and get the g.
 
Apparently the rebate mentioned above lists the 802.11g belkin router too. That is in stock, and qualifies for free shipping..
 
For those that don't know .11b is plenty for a few machines on the internet on broadband.

You can do some file sharing, but the faster technologies are much quicker...however I usually just dump my stuff to Compact Flash as all my machines have pcmcia readers.

I did wireless here out of necessity and was dreading it, but it's proven to be so much better than having another set of cables.
