Amazon has a deal with SMC running now where you can get a $40 mail in
rebate if you buy the SMC 7004AWBR, so including the rebate it is just under
$100.  That's a really good deal, with a lot of features for the price...
you can even get free shipping on it.

SMC Wireless 4-Port Cable/DSL Router with Print Server

-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-1213345-5748701?v=glance&n=507846

Amazon has such long urls but that should work.  There is a link there to
the mail in rebate so it can be printed out.  I just ordered it myself so I
don't know how it works yet, but what I've read it is a good WAP.  Maybe
someone else on the list can elaborate on it's usage...
