Dlink DIR-655

I know no one gets too excited about routers around here....but this is a good price on a good router.

EDIT: price reduction, ends 8/29

Hmmm, any idea how long this sale is going to last? I think my 655 is dying, so I have to replace it with something. Not sure if I should replace it with another 655 or 825. Sigh, I'm just disappointed my 655 is dying...

Don't rule out the 665 either, as I believe that is the dual-band version of the 655.

Dual band, but not dual radio (meaning it cannot work on both bands at the same time). We still have lots of 2.4GHz only devices in the house, so if I were to get a dual band router, it would have to be dual radio to operate on both bands simultaneously, otherwise it would be a waste to pay extra.

EDIT, time to go back to reading smallnetbuilder again... it's a great resource for wireless routers.

Good catch, I didn't see that.
