SuperBiiz has the Netgear WNDR3700 802.11n Draft 2.0 Rangemax Simultaneous Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router for $125 - $15 off with coupon code KICKOFF [Exp 2/9] = $115 with free shipping.
I've had this one since August 2010. Rock Solid router. It is a bit spendy, however the range is probably 1.5x that of the old stand-by linksys wrt54GS (even with dd-wrt).
Quality built product. At $110 to $115 I would recommend this router.
Smallnetbuilder.com has a TON of people HATING this router, yet all the reviews are good. Another example of real world vs. synthetic world.
That's what happens when bad reviews are censored. There's always going to be a fair % of people hating any particular router because they have limited experience setting up a router, have bad environment for wifi reception, or even those who receive the inevitable defective product once in a while.
The math on this is now (price rise?) $135 - 15 = $120.
IMO, that is a bit too high still, two routers and and a switch separate might cost $120 but when you consolidate parts the price should drop to about $70 if not less. Even so I suppose if reducing clutter is worth paying a premium, here you are, though if you have an all-in-one, if it breaks you lose all functionality instead of the situation where if only one switch or router breaks you still can use the remaining switch and/or routers/switches to limp along till you get the failed part replaced.
Maximum PC mag picked this as there favorite. I think it's still a little pricey.
Ben - check your math. $125 - 15 = $110.
