Really nice. I just bought one FAR 2 weeks ago, and am using their Wireless draft N router now. I might buy this as another backup, along with the free printer 🙂

They have them on line now also. Seems like a good price if you get the rebates.

Darn, too bad I missed this one.

It's alive again, but $9.99 this time. Snagged a router and card for $19.98 after rebates today. Still a heck of a deal for a Super-G setup.

I was interested but the reviews for this item are pretty bad. Lot's of dropped connections and some said it dies after 6 months. Since the two rebates are a hassle I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I don't see the printer offer. Has it gone missing or are my eyes fried?

I bought a TrendNet Wireless NIC and it never worked right.

YMMV but I'll never buy another TrendNet product.

Reading the reviews, this product seems to have a weak antenna where reception reliability is spotty. Seems to be a trend with Trendnet! 😛

I recently bought a Trendnet N router from Frys for $45 after rebate. The thing has a crappy antenna/power. I get 60-65% signal strength one floor below (and spotty signal reliability in which the router needs to be reset every couple of days). My previous routers ALL give me 100% signal strength and bullet proof signal reliability (i.e. no power resets).

Needless to say, I'm returning the N router.

Having a good, strong, RELIABLE signal is more important to me than saving a few bucks.

However, if you don't have the money or are really cheap, then these things will do the job (that is, if you don't mind doing power resets and are in the same room as the router)
