    I ordered the NetGear WGR614 54Mbps Firewall Wireless Router - Standard G.

    And my laptop right now is in boxing and I expect it to get here by Friday. Online chat said the router won't get here till the 23rd and it'll have next day shipping.


    FAIL. Anyone know where I could get a good deal on this router elsewhere?

    You could try amazon, new egg, or tiger direct. Or any electronics retail store's website (best buy, circuit city, fry's, maybe even costco)...I don't know shop around on the internet, and check shipping times...usually research does the trick...

    Did anyone purchase a Belkin N1 Wireless-N Router from Dell?

    I purchased one on Aug 1. The first estimated shipping date was Aug 10. It was then delayed to Aug 15 and finally to Aug 23. I hope it doesn't get delayed again...

    I don't understand why you guys buy routers from Dell. Their CS is horrible, and you can get them cheaper at Newegg, or anywhere as a matter of fact.
