Promo Code is EMCEKEK25. That gets it down to $5, and the $5 MIR takes care of the rest.

Netgear bought out On Networks, so do not expect any support from them; however, there is a newer Netgear-based firmware that is much better than the shipping firmware. Or you can use OpenWRT, your choice. Firmware upgrade is recommended.

These units are slow, but apparently they work well with upgraded firmware, and they're free so . . .

I wish it had more than 2 LAN ports.

Edit: Shipping is $3.99.

Err, showing $3.99 shipping now, so they're not quite free.

Seems like an OK choice for a wireless-N router for Grandma, if she's still using a 'G' or 'B' router.

Okay, CLOSE to free. Sorry, forgot the shipping charge.

Yes, perfect for grandma, or any other low-bandwidth application you might have in mind.

Only two Ethernet out ports, unlike virtually every other router that has a minimum of 4 usually. Got one for free a few months ago as part of a combo deal, but only having two ports out kills it for me, so it is a deep backup for me. Even though I have a switch also, I prefer to have more ports on the actual router.
