Rosewill RNX-N150RT Wireless Lite-N Router $15 + Free Shipping

Quote from Hellyea : What's point of 150mbps when wan port is not gige? Network sharing only?

2.4 band is shared with everyone around you too like a hub, if there are alot of crappy old b/g devices (neighbors) your real throughput goes way down as well. ppl using 40mhz channels doesn't help either. If you have clean 2.4 space then not a problem. I'm upgrading to 5ghz now, but alot of devices like phones/tablets only do 2.4 band.
Wireless connections require overhead (every ssid beacons, re-transmits, collisions, interference etc), so if 150mb is the rate available, only a certain percentage is used for your actual data payload. the higher the data rate, the more headroom is open to data payload and additional clients.

edit: grabbed one for office to replace old g router, ty op.

If you are not in a rush to receive this, you can also buy it on eBay from newegg. You will receive $0.30 ebay Bucks for each router. It's only $0.30 but it adds up.

Quote from reactions : Tempting This run at 5 ghz ?

According to the specs, no.

I'm on the fence about this. It's cheap, but it's also pretty low-end with only 150Mb Wi-Fi and no GbE. I could possibly upgrade my parents' router, but they don't have any 802.11n devices, so it may just end up being a slower router (the router itself, not the Wi-Fi) than what they currently have.

Quote from sgseteghsf778 : I found a very interesting thing that this product advertisemnet shows if you choose the 1-year extended warranty,then you need to pay more $4.99,I don't know why.Isn't the warranty period for this product 1-year?

Yes, the manufacturer warranty is 1 year, and for $5 you can get an extra year of protection. That's pretty much the standard for how extended warranties work.

seriously, you have a gige wan connection?

So what will this router be good for?
I still have DSL (I know) at home and now have one router (netgear WNR2000 v1) and I would like to maybe spread more connectivity to the rest of the house. but I mean as long as I have DSL the speed won't change much will it?

Got this from Newegg on the last deal. Flashed with DD-WRT and setup as a repeater. Works fine for a while and then various devices in the house will lose network connectivity completely. Tried setting DHCP both on and off on the RNX-N15. With DHCP on I split the range of IPs to be different from my router but no good. Ended up being a big headache and it landed in the trash.

would this router be a HUGE upgrade from THIS router? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6833122016

i keep getting dropped signals for my netgear when under cable internet.... and also, the rosewill one has more wireless data rates... so hmm... suggestions?

In for 2, thanks op.

If you're having stability issues, then dd-wrt on this router will clear that up

FYI to all: Stock firmware SUCKS on nearly all routers.
*This has been a public service announcement*

Thanks got 3

I've been waiting for a DD-wrt Compatible Router for under 20 with Wireless N. This is a perfect companion to extend my network and connect the ethernet devices I have in my attic office. Thanks OP.

Can I use this to extend my network? Currently use an Asus RT-N16 (with Tomato) which does a good job in the basement, but devices upstairs have a struggle to stay connected.
Was not sure if different devices have different firmware whether there would be a problem?

I went to Subway and spent $15 on a lettuce sandwich.

This router has no HDMI, it won't cut the grass and the batteries are not included.

ITS $15....it does EVERYTHING the average to semi-advanced home/office network needs....EVERYTHING.

IMHO

When I receive mine, I will try to see if it does cut the grass and I will report back
