Buy.com has the TRENDnet Wireless N Home Router TEW-652BRP for $25 with free shipping. One of the lowest cost N routers currently. Also includes a 4-port 10/100 switch for your wired devices.
I design and install Aruba and Cisco Airespace corporate WLANs full time - voice, data, guest access, dot1x, the works. I started using these Trendnet routers, APs and print servers as cheap test gear about 2 years ago. I'll say that the Trendnet line of routers impresses me. The software is fantastic. Yes, I've had a quirk with a loose LED in an AP, but other than that, the whole lineup is fantastic. The software is second to none. It has better configuration and protocol compatibility than Linksys or Netgear. If you understand WLAN technology, you will like these Trendnet routers. The GUI does not hide items from you or use generic home user type terms like Linksys does. It's a matter of preference I suppose, but no mistake about it, the Trendnet lineup is great. The site always has multiple updates and clearly identifies the different hardware revs for each model. Something that Linksys does not do (and yes, I've actually killed a Linksys router by uploading the wrong image to it). Regardless of price or reputation, the Trendnet stuff is good stuff and I prefer it.
Just an FYI on these cheap TRENDnet wireless equipment. I bought a few of them and had to replace them all. They are cheap and unreliable.

1 for it and 1 against it. Do companies hire people to prop up thier products and diss other products?
Buy.com canceled my order for these. If you ordered one of these did they cancel it on you too?
