Zellers - Dlink Omni-Directional antenna $7.79 ANT24-0700

[inhobbok]

I was at Zellers, getting the Michelin Optimum wiper blades.
In Electronics, i found the Dlink Omni-Directional 7dBi antenna, model ANT24-0700. The price posted was $49 but it scans for $7.79. i don't have SKU number - receipt shows UPC Code 790069273643

This antenna can be used to increase wireless signal range of your wireless router, or your wireless card in your computer. Compatible with SMA and TNC connector types, so can be used with dlink, linksys, most brands.

good price.

Can anyone else confirm that this is not location specific?

This deal would be extremely hot if we're able to apply the D-Link's Spooky Saving $20 MIR offer. :P

Actually, you do just that.

Yeah, it's always sweet when you can buy a product AND get more money back than you spent on it. Done that a few times in the old Staples 150% price-matching days...

Unfortunately though that Halloween D-Link rebate is not available to Canadian residents, as D-Link USA does not honour Canadian purchases unless specifically stated on the rebate form (and D-Link Canada is not offering a rebate on this product at this time).

Tiger Direct actually has the product with a TD-exclusive $20 rebate from D-Link USA that's open to Canadian & US customers. But their price is $48.99(-$20) (link).

If you can get it at Zellers for $7.79, that's a deal.
However, be warned - read the reviews... it might be a waste of money even at that price. I guess you could always eBay it though if it didn't do anything for your network.

Do not ever buy that antenna, there's more loss in the wire than gain in the antenna, not worth 7.79$

Actually, reviews on Amazon.com are somewat mixed, but generally quite positive.
