no you do not.

when you order online I'm not even sure but I didn't get asked for a company name, if you call in to order by phone then just use some company name, even just the place you work for example but use your home address.

[Aflac!]

Probably some crappy laser printers. Yee-haw.

[kcjchan]

[sandie]

[Canadianpsycho]

Dammit!

A True MIMO for a hundred bucks? Damn you Dell, I figured the prices would be too high for a while to upgrade my wireless network.

[sandie]

I just bought the $49 wi-fi thing.

Its got a $12 rebate -- follow the link!

So $37 for anything is not bad. Will be a present for a geek I know.

lol

I'm just wondering why you really would need this.
all u have to do is scan if there are any signals with your laptop.

[s2k]

What advantages does the MIMO offer over a normal wireless router?

[optimum]

I'm just wondering why you really would need this.

it's cool because you don't need to turn on your laptop to see

[jla0]

I have the TEW-509UB version of this adapter at work (does A/B/G) and it's cool... You can just walk around with it and detect rogue wi-fi spots with SID's. Recharges by plugging it in the USB port and use it as a wi-fi card.

[rubberband]

i want the 20.1 widescreen w/ dvi and 8ms *drools*

The 20.1 FPW is 12ms, but it's such a high quality panel you won't know it. 0 ghosting in all the FPS games I've tried since I got mine for xmas on the dell pre-christmas sale. If it comes up again for ~500 bucks go for it, big beautiful screen!

[rubberband]

Very cool toy.. so tempting.

[ironmaiden]

Pre-N Router = $140 at BB
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10061919&catid=21119

What is the point to buying a "Pre-N" router.
Why not just wait till the "Real-N" router comes out

[computerguy]

Yep 12ms, but when I had mine, I noticed ghosting right away... same with the 2405 >:( guess I'll have to stick with this crt for a bit longer.

[emz]

I'm leaning towards the Pre-N router since it's compatible with Nintendo DS' wifi thing...My current SMC craprouter is not and apparently neither is the $39 one

http://www.nintendowifi.com/customersupport/supportedRouters.do;jsessionid=D2C96BE4ED9F6345D16 B5EEC574E4B34

As previously posted, bestbuy is selling it for $140...so is it a "hot" deal for $99?

Also, apparently it's compatible with MAC but I would have go through the trouble of setting it up manually...I wonder if that would be tedious to accomplish. I own an ibook with an airprot express card... :confused:

My turn:

rebate link?

Thanks, and thanks!

[[H]ackerK]

back to sleep. zzzz.

[YLSF]

My home router seems to cut in and out..(when using the cabled connection). I still haven't determined if it is my VOIP box causing the issue, but maybe I should upgrade to a new router anyway.... hmmm... I wonder if the Pre-n was is worth the price difference?

I imagine that it will be upgradable to actual N when that comes out (or, that is the plan at least??)

[kcjchan]

crappy routers

=.= how did you know?

[isthatallugot]

the router is crappy... the picture lies... i bought the one on the other days of deals... ripped me off! :@

[kcjchan]

But then he posted it before the deals appeared...
Not questioning whether or not the routers are actually crappy but then this deal does seem pretty crappy. :lol:

[teyang]

How about $39 router? Just consider to buy a new wireless router, but this one's review looks not very postive on some forums.

[ZenOps]

Thanks, just ordered up the USB wireless stick...

If its one thing I hate, its waiting a minute to start up a laptop just to find out if there is an accesspoint nearby.

The $12 rebate is appreciated too.

[albion]

Oh man! Just got this router last week at the source for $139.99, not that great of a deal, since I paid regular price. There regular price is 199.99. Ya right!!!
The question is should I return and order dell's to save $40.00?
Not a bad router either, pretty good distance with it.

[killbillvol1]

Sweet price on the pre-N.

think i'll get 1 of those too...

[Spidey]

I think I might get one of those. Just to check out hot spots around town and also I have a very old PC that has no internet in a room I cant string a cable too.

Cant beat the price

[ENG101]

I ordered the USB device. I've been waiting for one that displays the SSID and encryption type, so if it works well it could be very handy.

[Clvn]

does anyone know if the wireless usb adapter will work for the xbox360?

[Canadianpsycho]

http://news.com.com/New+Wi-Fi+standard+back+on+track/2100-7351_3-6025788.html

OK, I'm officially an idiot.

[Spidey]

Ordered the wireless adapter and printed out the rebate form.

Man I love running a business on the side, so many write offs ;)

[Filer]

I went to newegg.com and looked up the router there (per-N one) and then I read the reviews of it ........... Hmmmm sure alot of mixed reviews on it .

I want a new router with good distance but chose not to buy this as the reviews are just to mixed.

Anyone have a suggestion for a relyable router with lots of distance & 108 ?

hi mates,

i am going to buy a new router and return hawing to BB, is this a good deal?

[Bordello]

Price is pretty good. I might order one. Anyone have an opinion on this router?

[kwokwing]

I don't know What version it is, if it is F5D7230 V1444, it can be flashed the Linksys WRT54g firmware. also this router has the WDS feature that expand the range of wireless network (Need a AP supported).

According to Dell: Manufacturer Part# F5D7230-4

I might buy one and return the Netgear 108MPS router from futureshop, I really need a router support WDS.

[Kitcar]

Futureshop also has a "Comstar" brand 250gb external hard drive on sale now for $169.99 - sounds like a cheap brand though.

Belkin Wireless Pre-N 108 Mbps Router w/Firewall - $99

I have been playing with this thing for a day now and it seems that my Dell laptop worked better with the old USR wireless router. The connection actually craps out every so often and this never happened with the USR.

I know that the best thing is to have a MIMO card in the laptop also but I was under the impression that this wireless roughter was supposed to improve link quality even with normal 802.11g cards and laptops.

[SumGuy]

Just received my usb adapter/detector today. It lookes as though Dell.ca now uses the same warehouse as BB/FS. The packing slip is the same kind as BB/FS with the sticky tear-off section on the right hand side and the Ship from address is 88 Foster Cres. All the previous stuff I got from Dell had the pink packing slip. :confused:
