For those who are looking to beat Bell's throttle in the GTA and elsewhere, this is one of the routers you can do it with. 802.11g, 54mbps, 4 wired ports. Manufacturer is listed as Cisco, but they're the same as Linksys.

$47.99 at DirectCanada plus $9.99 air shipping. The cheapest I've found it is for $60 at CC, so you save a few bucks plus PST here.

maybe this is a good deal now (havent looked at the prices for these recently) but i think many people picked up this router for 39.99 not that long ago. it seemed that like for a few consecutive weeks, there was at least 1 place selling this thing for 39.99 whether it be dell (dod), ncix, or compu2000.

good router tho.

uhm. here's the dell deal from a while ago.

It's beign phased out so it's worth grabbing even at this price as there's no equal replacement forthcoming for a similar price.

Grab one while you can, then flash it with the Tomato firmware, set up 'multi-link' and avoid the throttling by Bell.

Add a filler item to make it $50 and ground shipping is only 99 cents.

If these actually are being phased out now, the Asus WL-500G is a good alternative if you want to use third party firmware. It's not quite as easy to flash, but it's generally faster once you get it working.

Comes up as 47.99 for me...with 50 left as of 7:30AM EST
This is a solid router...though it has been as low as 39.99 in the past.

Notice how this is in the expired deal section? The router is back to regular price now, and to add a filler means to just put any item that'll push the price to $50 or more in order to get the cheap shipping.
