I think the price of a LinkSys "Blue Box Router" was money well spent. As of
yet, I have not heard of any competitors to LinkSys for their router/firewall.
If you are looking for a good price for LinkSys Routers http://www.onvia.com
but if you want service and are willing to pay a bit more, try London Drugs.
London Drugs services what they sell for free, and they never have let me
down. They even updated the firmware in my LinkSys Router for free.
