A student came to me and asked if I had a suggestion on purchasing a wireless router. I have a NetGear router at home that I am happy with so I looked on Amazon to find what the going price is. I had purchased my router for $125 with a $40 mail. I found a NetGear router at Amazon for $39.99 and it had a mail in rebate for $30. $10 for a wireless router! I looked today and the rebate has been reduced to $20 so the final cost for the router is $20. The student bought the router for $39.99 with the $30 mail in rebate. A trade paperback goes for $11.99. I didn't think that wireless routers would be the same price as a paperback. You can see the router at http://tinyurl.com/43h7f
