NewEgg.com has the ASUS wl-520gu wireless-g 802.11g 54mbps Router for $40 - $10 rebate [Exp 2/28] + $0 shipping = $30 shipped. It can be flashed with DD-WRT to make it a "super router."

    ok, I logged in for the first time in a long time just to comment on this.

    I own this router. First of all that is a decent price, approx. what I paid 2 months ago.

    The most important thing is that its DDWRT capable. Mine has been flashed but prepare to do some research. There are different DD-WRT configurations and if you care enough about flashing your router, you're prob willing to spend extra time to learn about DD-WRT.

    Also, not many people have managed to get the USB print server setup properly on this router. It can be done but it takes some computer skill that not everyone has.

    Finally, if you're not interested in DD-WRT capabilities, the (upgraded) ASUS firmware is still decent. Just make sure you flash to the latest firmware.

    the print server works for me, and it's got easy instructions in the ddwrt wiki. the router is pretty stable as far as DDWRT compatible routers go, signals are good as well. The USB jack makes this special. With the right package you can turn this thing into a NAS like the NSLU2, webcam server, web server, etc. on top of the tons of networking features already in DD-WRT. The flash ram on these isn't the biggest, but it's just enough to get those going.
