I have a d-link 774 or something like that, I would be willing to sell for a good price, it normally costs around 150, so possibly a 100? Im not sure though, LMK if your interested.

Ha, do not get the D-Link. Maybe mine was messed up, but it randomly dropped the signal every 12 hrs or so, and it was really annoying. I then picked up that same Belkin, and it has been working for a while now.

I have the D-Link 524, which is on sale for $19.99 AR at BB. I love it. It's 802.11g, and for the price, it's worked great so far.

I would stay far away from Linksys, A friend of mine went threw 2 of them in 1 week before getting a D-Link. The first one the wireless didn't work and the second one nothing worked. Also at my work we have gone threw about 7 of them in the last 2 months. The wireless keeps dieing after a couple days. Saldy we need a Linksys for testing reasons.

i was thinking of getting the speedbooster ones which are supposedly faster..but cost more. i thought maybe i should get something not as $$ and maybe sell later on and by then hopefully they would of dropped in price

DO NOT get the D-link. I have the DI-624 and like someone else said earlier, it constantly drops me or reboots. I would go with a netgear or linksys.

That Belkin is actually $10 after rebate and out of numerous routers I've used this is the best. D-Link's do nothing but give me problems.
