Wireless Router for $3.99 (AR and GC) @ buy.com

[roemer21]

Ok, so not the best of wireless routers. But, for the price AR you really can't go wrong. This isn't even the price of a combo meal at a fast food restaurant. Let me know what you guys think about this deal on the Zyxel 330W.

i got few days ago, and its actually better than expected. Check some reviews online. The great thing about it (for me, at least) is that you can bridge this router wirelessly.

So I can connect my 360 downstairs to my wireless router upstairs without buying a 90$ adapter. It took more than 10 mins of configuring, but there is a tutorial especially on this online on some other forums which I found later. Should be straightforward though if you have bridged rotuers before.

BTW, all this was on stock firmware. So no hacking needed. There is no noticeable speed lag either.

I have the 330W. When I used it as a router, it drove me nuts. Even with the latest firmware, I had to restart it every 1-2 days, as both the wireless and wired connection would just stop working. I replaced it with a buffalo router that I'm very happy with, and I now use the 330W as a bridge. I mainly use it with my xbox and it works very well for this purpose.

There might be a beta version out for the software, from reading online, which solved several people's similar problems. But cant say more, since I havent used it as a router.

FWIW, I use this to connect to GoogleWiFi (instead of having to buy a wireless modem) and it works very well.

Enjoy!

I saw that it did go back up in price for a few days, but now it's back down to $3.99 AR and GC. Good luck!

I have this thing also. I have no problem with it at all. It also has a feature that I like, you can assign IP address base on system's Mac address.

Got my hopes up a little. Buy.com is out of stock. Your link shows the AntOnline marketplace listing and it's at $41.68 - $25 MIR = $16.68. Not bad, but I'll go name brand for a little more than that.

Thanks for listing it though, I'll keep an eye on it for a day or two.
