D-Link 704 avaible in Wilmington, DE Bestbuy Concord Pike for $29!!

[pcclub2000]

I just came back from Bestbuy Concord Pike in Wilmington, DE to pick-up my router and they have still same their. It's behind another D-Link router. The model # is DI-704 without the P!! They don't sell the DI-704P. It's a mistake from the Bestbuy website.

Nice to see someone else from Delawhere....


This is a half decent router especially for the price...no major outstanding features but it's been reliable for me.

What kind of features should i look for if i wanted a better router?

Well, it's not a mistake. I just grabbed the last DI-704P from a local store. There are still six DI-704 left. Both models are on sale and with the same rebate amount.

Ask 'em to look around. I found that there where about 15 704's and about 5 704p's up on a shelf.
And this after the BB Emp. told me they don't carry it.

I now have the Printserver for the same price and the Non-Printserver model.

More bang for the buck.

I have this router. It's great. Look no further and get it. About the only thing wrong with it is that it only has 4 ports. Other then that it's fast and reliable. I paid 80 bucks for mine and feel I got a great deal. With I only paid 30 bucks for it!

One nice feature it does have if you ever get kicked off cable cause of your web server... Or you move somplace that doesn't have boradband *GASP* you can plug your modem into the back and still connect all your PC's up with out having to do a software router. I've never done this so maybe it wouldn't work so hot. But, in thery I thought it was a nice touch.

Did you guys ever notice that they always seem to be out of video cards at the Concord Pike store ??

That's exactly what happened to me. Just moved into a new home and the neighborhood isn't setup w/ broadband yet. Been using 1-way cable for 3yrs and just went back to 'ol v90 connections and I have to say it f#%^ing sucks.

:|:disgust::frown:

Anyway, I bought this router for just this reason. My trusty Netgear RT311 doesn't have the ability to connect a modem and I've been using it to share cable for so long I Didn't feel like setting up a software solution to share the internet. The DLINK 704 allows an external modem to be connected to it and you can share a dialup connection that way. Saves me from fighting my wife for the phone line all the time, and I don't need to leave my PC on when I'm not connected. Of course, I'm still dying for more bandwidth, but, that'll come someday.

Yep, Loach. That always seems to be the case. Concord Pike store = no video cards.

Just wanted to say hi to some fellow Delaware folks as well..... I go to the Kirkwood highway (they suck but it is closer)
