Asus WL-520gU 802.11b/g Wireless Router for $29.99 Shipped After Rebate.
This past weekend, I went to Frys for the 3rd time in an effort to get a router. The first time I went was due to my trusty Netgear finally losing its wireless capabilities after five years of trustworthy service. I then went on to get another Netgear that boasted a 10x speed increase from the standard 802.11b/g speed and was very sad to find that it didn’t work wirelessly. I had spent a about $70 on that router, which I found ridiculous, and seeing how it didn’t work, I had to return it.
My next attempt was to get the standard model, which appeared to look like the same one of the one that I had just broken. What I liked about it was the price. It was only $30, the price that I had originally paid for my router 5 years ago, and the price I feel a router should cost. Upon installation though I found out that the max speed was only 500 mb/s and wasn’t satisfied, going back to Frys and returning another one.
This time, I am going to Frys to try this Asus router. I hate how some routers are just so plain expensive, and just feel horrible to pay more than $40 on a router, which I strongly believe shouldn’t be done. The Asus model thankfully is only $29.99 shipped from ZipZoomFly.com. I’m just going to Frys to return my current one and check it out (and not buy it from them).
