Geeks.com has the refurbished Linksys WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless N Router for $30 + $6 average shipping = $36 shipped. Shipping ranges from $5 to $7. Backwards compatible with B/G networks, with gigabit LAN capability.
$36
Is there a Wireless N router available that isn't backward compatible with B/G?
Geeks + refurb = trouble
Agree with #2.
Esp. when they send you a defective router and they won't replace it.
1 vote for #2 - pass.
I've bought refurbed things through Geeks and never had problems. YMMV of course, just saying that they've always seemed comparable to anyone else that specializes in weird/old/refurb merchandise.
No need to decide - sold out.
Reseller "DigitalEtc" at Amazon.com has the "Cisco Certified Refurbished" Cisco/Linksys E2000 for $40 with free shipping. I ordered two of them and a $99 refurbished E3000 this morning. The WRT320N and E2000 are the same hardware, but the E2000 has a few extra features in its firmware and has twice the NVRAM available as the WRT320N. The NVRAM is simply disabled in the WRT320N, and you can actually convert a WRT320N into a E2000 fairly easily (do a web search for instructions).
I'm going to load dd-wrt on all three units, set up the simultaneously dual-band E3000 as my central router, and use the two E2000s as 5GHz WDS extenders.
Go to this listing at Amazon.com and click the link for refurbished items for the $40 refurbished E2000. Fulfillment is by Amazon and the item is Prime-eligible:

Reference #7:
The E2000 @ Digitaletc.com is $36 ($60 - $24 with coupon E2000SD).

Thanks for the info, #8. Looks like the same router from the same seller for $4 cheaper.
One comment in your linked thread mentions a 2-week delivery time, though, and estimated delivery for my E2000s is March 8. Not bad, considering I ordered on March 7. I'm an Amazon Prime member, though, and Prime 2-day shipping applies to this item.
