If Internet performance is of utmost importance, especially if you pay for a fast 10-megabit or 20-megabit Internet connection and/or have lots of simultaneous Internet connections a lot, this is one of the best routers available in the sub-$100 price point.
No built-in wireless, though.
We tested one of these on a 20-megabit cablemodem connection, and constantly achieved 20-megabit speeds.
A Linksys WRT54G fluctuated between 10 and 18 megabits with the same downloads.

Newegg.com
- Brother MFC-5460cn Printer/Scanner/Fax for $80 after rebate
Brother MFC-5460CN inkjet printer, flatbed scanner, and fax machine for $100 with free shipping, and a $20 mail-in rebate is available.
While not the cheapest we've seen this Brother, it is still one of the best deals around for a decent all-in-one printer, especially for someone with a home or office network.
It has built-in Ethernet network connectivity, so you can plug it into any Switch or Router, and print from any computer on your home or office network.
Its flatbed scanner can send scanned documents to a networked computer or an email address, and its printer can print directly from memory cards.
The reviews are generally very good, however be aware most standalone printers will give better quality than this printer, but it's good enough for non-professional printing.
Most other stores sell it for $100 to $150.
Its included ink cartridges should last for about 6 months of occasional printing.
Third-party replacement cartridges are relatively inexpensive, such as a 10-pack C/M/Y/K for $23 with coupon BROTHER15P .
Final cost after 2 rebates is $140, assuming both rebate checks come.
It has DVI input, and includes a VGA cable.
Note, this deal is very risky for 2 reasons: the quality of the monitor, and the chance of not getting the $50 rebate on the monitor.
This really is a cheap LCD monitor, so be aware that if you dislike it and already submitted the rebate, you may be stuck paying over a hundred dollars for a poor quality item that no one wants.
Even some recently completed Ebay auctions had trouble selling this monitor.
The few reviews of this monitor gave it about 3 stars out of 5, and there are a couple reports of broken LCDs and the manufacturer failed to provide adequate support.
Our recommendation is to avoid a deal like this unless you really do want a cheap LCD monitor and do not care about quality.
The mail-in rebate for the monitor appears to be a Fry's rebate, not a manufacturer's rebate.
Fry's has a poor history of not fulfilling their own rebates, and chances of not getting your $50 is greater than a manufacturer's rebate.
The $50 printer rebate is a manufacturer rebate.
