Netgear Wireless G router w/4-port switch $29.95

I'd rather pay full price than buy it at Best Buy for $1. I can't

CompUSA has a Belkin 4-port + Wireless G for $14.99 after rebate, incidentally.

I have no problem with bestbuy and if you don't like going to the store, you can buy one online. The only reason I mentioned bestbuy is because they had the cheapest ad this week. I router is a router and where you buy it shouldn't make any difference.

Only Linksys and Netgear have a good enough rep for me to buy/recomend one.

I am with you 100 percent. I can't even stand driving by a BB.

Netgear screwed me out of a rebate. Pulled the usual 'we never got your paperwork' routine.

Always try to get an 800 number to call and keep a copy of all your sent in paperwork and you should be ok. I've had more trouble with the smaller $1-5 rebates from drug stores etc. than with the larger electronics rebates, but I'm sure you can run into trouble with any of them. Many have websites where you can check on your rebates and contact them when they don't show.

In this case the price before rebate is probably reasonable - the rebate is a bonus.
