Wireless-G 2.0 USB Adapter $29 Office Max

[rondeemc]

Picked up a Microsoft MN-710 at Office Max for $29 plus tax. This was in Weatherford, TX. They were clearing out all of the Microsoft networking. Been looking for something along this line to easily move stations around my home. Had looked at the D-link version but comments were so negative on it that it was returned. This versioin is very small and has both internal and external antennas.

I can't locate this on their website to find out if it's in stock in my area. Doh.

These were clearanced a while ago. Good luck finding any stock left.

Yeah Clearanced way before christmas, I think I picked up a router and a USB adapter probably the end of the summer when they first hit clerance. good luck.

Thats the advantage of having one in a small town, things stay around awhile. They had routers, pci cards, and the USB adaptors left. Also had some Belkin and D-link units.

This unit had two clearance stickers, the first was $49.

Take a look at these AT&T wireless products on sale at CompUSA. They may as well give them away.

I picked up the 6500G PCI adapter for $13. The drivers for it were very flakey on a win98se machine. I posted about it in the "compusa 2/6 - 2/12" thread.
Someone responded with a link to an Atheros driver -- which works a ton better for me.

(hey... that usb adapter came down another $3! It was $18 the other day)

Most wireless stuff is post Windows 98 so I doubt you would get good driver support for it. Count it as a blessing if you do.
