Just got back from Staples on Merivale Rd. in Ottawa. Picked up a brand new (not refurb) Linksys E4200 router off the clearance rack for 89.99 (50% of $179.99). The sku # is 745883591121.

This is actually a very good deal...I picked up a new E3200 for $110 just 2 months ago. Simultaneous dual-band is the way to go!

Hot if v1 since you can flash it with DD-WRT/TOMATO.

v2 is not supported by third party firmware.

Did they have any more on the clearance table or was it the only one? I picked up the E3200 at the Staples at Fairlawn Plaza on Carling yesterday for $55. Might try the E4200 to see the performance between the 2 if they have any left.

When I left, they had about 4 on the rack.

Good luck.

Gave the Merivale Staples a call and asked if they could check if they had any of the E4200s left. Couldn't find any on the table or the router rack, only the V2s were on the rack. Guess they were all bought yesterday. I'll just stick to my E3200 :cheesygri

EDIT: Did you buy the E4200 today? Seems odd that 4 of these would be bought out in just a few hours :-0 I'm thinking the guy on the phone didn't check carefully or they hid them in the back. Was it on the Clearance Table or on the Router Rack beside the E4200 V2s?

Called back again but nobody in Technology was picking up. Spoke to someone in Customer Service and they took down my phone number and the SKU# and said they'd call me back.

Called another Staples location and the person I spoke to said the 745883591121 is most likely the UPC number since it's not 6 digits. Currently on hold while he finds any other Staples with the E4200 V1 in stock.

Update: Apparently the E4200 V1s are suppose to be shipped back to the manufacturer. Merivale and Kanata show stock on the system so I'm giving them another call. Apparently it was on the Clearance table and the previous guy I was speaking to wasn't able to see it... Off to Merivale I go~

staples in metrotown GVR had the e4200 v1 on clearance for 25% off... if only it were 50% off. burrard/granville location was reported to be running to 50% off for those in GVR that wants to give it a look.

Hi

I picked up a Version 1 at staples but it was an open box. Is it worth keeping or should I return it and try to find a new one ?

Just got back from Merivale. There were 3 E4200s on the Clearance Table, only 1 was sealed, the other 2 are probably open boxed returns. Used my $5 off $25 In Store Coupon and brought the price down to $84.98, total was $96.03 Going to see if the E4200 has better performance than the E3200 I bought yesterday. Definitely a great price though, think it's the lowest it's ever been. Beats the FS Refurb E4200 for $99.

Stopped by the Langley Staples, and they had 3 of them.

Stupid Manager would not sell them for 50% off even though I said all your stores are doing it. She said each store is diff. Crap!!!! I got her business card and going to complain tomorrow morning.

:facepalm:

i believe the store clearance indeed are up to the store manager to decide, so i dont know how many leverage u will have when complaining.
