Western Digital My Net N900 router - $60

[Xponential]

Staples has the Western Digital My Net N900 router for $60. This looks like a pretty ridiculous deal considering the cheapest price I could find online is about $110.

Official product page is here.

Well, depends on how you look at it.
While the 'deal' may be good in terms of prices, lots and lots of issues with these things.
At least with staples, you don't have to pay return shipping if you bring it back to a store.

True. I just got done reading through the feedback on Newegg and apparently reliability is kinda hit and miss.

I'm fairly certain I saw some of these (and the 600 also) at Walmart, in the clearance section.

Good price, but I'll pass on this.

SmallNetBuilder reviewed it, saying good performance but short range. Very feature rich, but not as option rich in the settings.

Another $10 off with coupon code 74145 making it $50+tax shipped.

I know it' NOT as fast as the ac specs from Asus, etc, but for $50, it's a great deal. I replaced my so-so Trendnet (never buy brand again) dual 450 and the WD N900 has longer range. At least more than enough for using a tablet or desktop gaming. Not faster than ethernet for transferring huge files. Why did I buy it? Simple....7 ports! I have 2 printers, a microserver, modem, pc, 2 other NAS, and misc laptops, netbooks, lan pc's, so I don't need another switch. I hate disconnecting ethernet cables! So far, I haven't had any issues running it 24/7. I recommend this for those on a budget until AC is more affordable. I get 60 Mbps down and seems to work great. I don't think you can beat the price to performance.
