D-Link 704P router - $39.99 at OM B&M shelf price

[amdskip]

Yup, not clearance and you don't have to mess with any freakin rebates. I got the last one on the shelf but it's not a clearance item.

Nice deal.

How does this one compare to the Linksys Cable/DSL 4-Port Router BEFSR41v.2 ?

Easy setup, as with most residential gateways. The printer port on this router is handy.

Here is the HOT deal!!!
The last time Omax had this for $39.99 I PM'ed BestBuy and they had a $20 MIR. Guess what! BestBuy is offering a $20 MIR on the DI-704P Again!! PM it to Omax and get it for $19.99 !!! The package and the housing may look different between Omax and BB but they are the same... Don't let BB deny for that reason, it's just a new housing and ppackage, they are the same. (althought D-Link says not to use the current firmware download on the new "Titanium" Housed routers.

DI-704P Has a print server and parallel port built into it. However, I have problems using a supported printer. You need to powercycle the router after every printjob or the next one is garbled.... Maybe they will fix it in a firmware release.

Sweet is it in the ad, how would would I PM it to BB if not? And how do I go about doing a firmware update?

hmm intereseting deal.... will om PM this? let us know your experiences... any coupons we can use?

I detailed this deal about 2 months ago; I can't pull up my old post. This is as pie as long as your local OM has them in stock for $39.99. Last time, most OMs had them shelf-priced at $49.99, some areas did not. Just go down (or call...) your local OM and check for stock and more importantly, the 8 digit product code. Then meander over to BestBuy, buy it, and wander over to the service desk and give the local OMs phone number and product code.

I tried this two weeks ago and BB gave me the BS story about not letting me do the rebate if they gave me the PM price. I didn't do it then, but I could have just said fine and then printed the rebate form off the web.

Same but they would not do it all.

Its been this price since like early July. I jumped in on it then. Considering its been this price since then, many stores are out of stock.

 

[jimmyhaha]

most OM are OUT, check with somone in OM yesterday

OM is almost everywhere is out

* item is discontinued *, no ETA, no restocking

ingram micro - one of OMax supplier is OOS

 

[PNP]

OK. So... should I buy it from BB first and then go back with the receipt (not the rebate receipt) and get a PM? If so, will the rebate show up in front of them or print out or anything when I try to do the PM? I don't want to have them shoot me down because of the rebate.

Will BB PM NewEgg? $55 there Text

 

[amdskip]

Bestbuy doesn't pricematch online stores.

it's clearance since July

DISCONTINUE, none of the store has stock, have someone in OM check the whole US, OOS, and RTV (Return to Vendor)

big mistake OM no longer carry this item, v. decent router w/ print server compared to linksys

 

[Moohooya]

OK, so what is the best price these days? Seems that we are back up in the $55 range! Ugly since some were paying $19 earlier this year.

Just wanted to say thanks to amdskip for posting this deal - I got in on it and I love this thing. If you were lucky enough to get one - upgrade the firmware youll be glad you did.
