    Here's a good deal on a D-Link DI-604 10/100 Mbps 4-Port Router.  I used a DI-604 for about 3 1/2 years and then replaced it with a D-Link DI-524 wireless router.   I got good service from the DI-604.

          uncontroled_teen......  Is that the first time you've been there ?  Did you pick up one of their catalogues ?
          did you get your router ?

                    LOL ...... Future shop and Best Buy are crap compared to Tiger Direct

                    I use them a lot ....... their shipping is fast as well .
