From last I heard that's around the usual sale price you'll see.

BB has it a bit cheaper.

Is it Dual-Band?

[superfigz]

Is it Dual-Band?

No.
This Router is 802.11 B/G/N 2.4GHz (no 802.11a support)

EDIT:
The DIR 855 is dual band, but I'm not sure where you can find that for a good price.

I got one a long time ago (when they went to revision b) and I love it. It is fast (LAN-LAN, LAN-WAN, and web interface). It has a "play nice" feature which you can enable which will detect other 2.4GHz traffic and try not to interfere. There are newer ones out there from Linksys that are supposed to be better, but I think mine was a very good buy. (I got it almost 1 year ago for $115 on sale).

Price isn't fantastic; it is a few dollars cheaper than normal.

I can add that it is a very good N router. good speeds, excellent features in firmware like QoS etc etc.

Does not crash 100% 3 computers using bitTorrent.

Great router .

[ryero]

Got the same router

Good router...though one thing i don't like is that I have to reboot the router every time i want to confirm my settings.
Other than that everything is awesome

Bought mine for 109 about 9 months ago.

+1 for GREAT router. Mine is a workhouse and never failed, it's been installed for just over a year I think and always powered. After going through countless linksys boxes and some other belkin junk I LOVE this thing. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Lots of features and a great Admin.

+1. Best router I've ever owned, solid as a rock.

[da_hool]

Got it for ~$119 almost a year ago. Very fast and stable. I haven't had to reset it at all.

Thanks all!!!!

and you get your BB points on top.

for FS may want to order and do an ISPU for monday between 5-9pm to get the 10% off sale.

Agreed, good deal for a decent N router. Avoid the ~$60 Wireless N routers like the plague.

I had a Belkin N1 and this one. The D-Link is SOLID compared to the Belkin. So far I've had no dropped signals or fade even though I'm pretty far away because I live on a 2 acre property. Very good router! Decent price.
