[InfiniteSadness]

credit goes to shoppings at FW

B&M only

advertised as 19.99 AR in this week's circular but price is different when rung up

40 - 20BB MIR - 20 MFR's Rebate

 

[Danzilla]

And the rebates don't BOTH require the original UPC?

 

[InfiniteSadness]

I'm guessing best buy's rebate to Calais, ME is the one that accepts copies.

 

[kehi]

Do both rebates print out at register? Thanks

yes...the mfr's rebate goes to new rochelle

 

[kehi]

cool

Hehe, somebody at BB screwed up with a competitive PM to CompUSA who has it for $20 AR. Better hurry, this deal will probably be dead by Monday. BB also has Linksys PCI NIC for $4.99 no rebate and Netgear FA311 for $9.99 no rebate.

is new rochelle notorious for bad rebates?

 

[DamageInc]

I have this router in my home. It works well, and it has a nice web admin interface. Good deal. I got it for $30 a while back at Staples.

dont forget to check your BB's overstock area

 

[austin316]

can you use the 10% off coupon? or will this void the rebates?

 

[Gilby]

Overstock area? Where is that usually hidden?

Anyway, went to the south OKC best buy today and they had one left on the shelf; the shelf tag advertised free after $40 in rebates. The south side OKC now has none left.

 

[baclips6]

next to the computer repair area or an aisle in the middle, center of the store

The 2 rebates are printed out at the checkout. It's clearly written Free After Rebate in the store, so just run they are leaving fast.
A guy took the last one on front of me in the first BB i visited, then i was lucky enough to get the last one in another BB.

Thanks I need another router for a friend, will swing by this afternoon, and cross my fingers....

 

[rasputinj]

Does anyone know if this is dead yet, I was knee deep tonight in server problems so I could not leave before BB was closed..

 

[austin316]

picked it up last night in the clevleand area for $39.99 - $40.00 in rebates. Had about three left.

 

[dabuddha]

hmm possible pricematch with staples?

 

[timp15]

Verified in the Baltimore, MD area. Picked one up yesterday morning and the shelves were still well-stocked. Good luck to all.

What location? I live in Euclid!

I've had this router for 3 months now and here's my take on it.

Good:
- It's fast, supposedly uses faster hardware than D-link, Linksys, and others.
- The administration interface is easy to use.
- VPN works flawlessly.
- Didn't have to wait long for their tech support.

Bad:
- I couldn't get DHCP working with XP Pro. Not a big deal since I run servers and such which likes static better for port forwarding.
- I was hoping for more flexibility and control in the administration interface. If you're an IT guy, you're probably going to find this feature somewhat lacking. But hey, it's a home product, not an enterprise scale solution.
- Tech support guy was arrogant and condescending. But I mark this up as an isolated incident.

Overall recommendation:
****

Has anyone tried to PM this to Staples yet? I don't NEED a router, but free (except tax) with no rebates sounds pretty good.

picked one up at BB Best of West in las Vegas (had several left).

First impressions:

Router is fast! I have tried several home routers in the past and this one is fast! Now finally, I can get rid of my Clarkconnect linux machine router and switch, as this one is almost as fast.

I had no problems getting DHCP working with XP. Web based interface is pretty nice.
Easy to port forward and was up an running in a matter of minutes.
YOu can manually configure the MAC address for the router.
Nice router for free!

Just picked one up in Mayfield, OH! They have 1 left as of 2:30 this afternoon!!!

Just got one from the Plano, TX store. They had a bunch left at lunch time today. Don't need one right now, but a free router is good for backup when/if my 2wire finally goes out.
