I know you meant less than 40 in your title. But it's written as more than.

Anyway, there are no good rebiable routers for less than $40. This is my router. I've had it for about 4 years.

I've had a cat knock it on hardwood floor completely seperating the internals from the plastic housing. I've had a cat pee on it. And I've had a cat jump and use it as a step-stool for getting to the fish tank, daily. As well as dripping water all over it when finished with drinking out of the fish tank...daily.

Works great.

If it was absolutely DIRE that it must be less than $40. The router I would personally purchase would be this one.

I have had this router for quite a while. I bought it refurbished too and still kicking like a champ.
I also say the Linksys suggested above,if your willing to spend a bit more go with the WRT54GL version.Either way flash it with dd-wrt firmware.

this one is looking extremely good right now. half the price i'm considering and it's 65 new. just one question, what are the warranties on refurbished products from tigerdirect?

Here's everything you need to know about dd-wrt firmware,if you do go this router just make sure to read the instruction first and that you have the right version for your particular router.I haven't looked but I think it supports the netgear router also.

I've heard that td's costumer service isn't the greatest,but I have enclosed a pic of the warranty you'll receive with the ng router(I wouldn't do it).

oh thanks alot, you have a sharp eye.
i'll see if this works out, it's only 20 bucks so if it fails after 2-5 months,i'll have enough saved up for the linksys.
