Buy.com has the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 on sale for $20 with free shipping. It supports a draft 802.11n standard, which may become obsolete if it isn't compatible with the eventual approved standard. A flash upgrade might alleviate that problem.

    802.11n was already ratified.. not a draft anymore.

    D-link's site lists a few recent firmwares, depending on which revision you have, but none mention anything like "complies with ratified N standard".

    It's fully compatible. Click on press releases on their site, then notice the "complete line of d-link" router article. There you will see the 615 listed as being fully compatible with ratified 802.11n. If you are looking for full capacity, however, you might look for something with some more antennas, as 2 antennas will not get you anywhere close to full bandwidth with the limit of 1 spacial stream each way.. on 802.11n, more antenna's = more speed.. Assuming each radio can transmit on each antennas.. and at 40MHz.

    Thanks, Ben! Just bought 1 @ $19.99 shipped - 5% Bing. Buy.com has run out of it and now it's available only through their marketplace vendors from $37.98 shipped & up.

    Looks like a very good deal for N-router. Closest to it were Zyxel's for $30 listed about a week ago.

    #5, I also bought the $30 ZyXEL a couple of weeks ago. The ZyXEL is an excellent router. It's very fast, never dropped the connection in the last 2 weeks, can be set as AP or WDS mode and it's running cool as a cucumber. I ordered this D-Link for Christmas present for a relative. Smile
