I'm looking for a wireless N adapter for awhile now. This maybe a very good deal after PM.
But I'm living in BC. Is it possible to PM with futureshop?

I strickly do not recommend to use USB at all.
especially for network, sound, printers/scanners etc.

First of all, thanks for the heads up! awesome find.

I was actually looking for one myself. But whats better to have ? buying a wireless usb networking adapter or to go for Powerline Networking adapters instead?

Why this guy is so expensive compared to the linksys and dlink's N wireless adapters at futureshop? Any huge technical difference?

Just came back from FS Heartland. Rep told me FS does not match with CC. Is that a known and posted policy?

I wonder how you can connect to most of the printers & scanners ... :|

Wanna share your experience ? I assume they must be negative ...

Actually they should as per their PM policy,
Try printing them this CC @ belkin website (http://www.belkin.com/wheretobuy/show.aspx?pid=&targ=20&ttr=40caf216-3258-461c-9bb7-07a339348e76&cid=46) CC is official reseller.

Parallel and SCSI ports, I guess. This guy must be posting from the past!

$42 for one Wifi Adapter is too expensive, even for wireless N ..

Thanks OP, I'll check it out. Hopefully FS will honor the PM but they'll likely to come back with the usual excuses.

its a not a known policy, but they do anything possible to reject PM, when PM-ing smaller stores its YMMV

Did they give you a reason why? I'm guessing they were just trying to make the PM difficult. There's absolutly nothing in their policy against matching CC. I have PM'd CC many times at FS... just go back and talk to someone else. Be firm but not rude and you shouldn't have any problems. If they still give you a hard time then get rude....:cheesygri
