CircuitCity.com has the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 on sale for $40 with free shipping. Get a free D-Link adapter after mail-in rebate. 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.
Is N really worth getting? Standard home broadband Internet connections aren't even as fast as N would give you so it is pointless to have that fast unless you are trying to transfer files internally.
I guess the distance boost is nice but my home isn't that big, I wish it were though.
March 2008 review of the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615:

That's about as detailed review as not. Doesn't tell you squat.
Mine kept dropping connections, i updated the firmware and its working good.
I'm falling out of favor with D-link, and draft n is junk. Pretty much none of the draft G equipment was able to be firmware upgraded.
If you want a good router, get a WRT54GL and put Tomato on it.
I've always hated D-Link and the one I have now is just more proof! WBR-2310
D-Link sucks. So does Netgear. I only get Linksys now...even though they have their fair share of problems.
