Netgear is running a mail-in rebate program for wireless networking products purchased through the end of February. When combined with the sale going on at Amazon.com, this means that a good 802.11b wireless cable/DSL router like the Netgear MR814 can be costs less than $30.
Rebates also extend to compatible 802.11b cards for laptops, like the
Netgear MA521 802.11b Wireless PC Card, and 802.11g gear like the
Netgear WG602 54 Mbps G Access Point and the
Netgear WG511 Wireless 802.11g PC Card. The 802.11g gear doesn’t really cost that much more money and can provide a lot more throughput, if it’s configured correctly.
