    for new routers, the cheapest I see this week are at best buy, for the N, the d- link rangebooster N(2 antennae's) is 79.99. now you can always get a netgear wnr N(3 ant-internal), refurbished off ebay for under $45- thats what we did when we were trying out the different makes/brands.

    Circuit City also has an belkin N router on sale for $69, but I wouldn't buy a belkin, as I think most here would tell you......

    stick w/ d-link, netgear, linksys......... the N routers are backwards compatible, so I'd buy N, though many still recommend G, since N is still in draft form until 2009
