Not as good as Mwave's last deal http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/65184 although many people got their sale rejected cause of mwaves ridiculous ecommerce system.
anyway, cisco got a cashback promo on the linksys e1200, e1500 & e2500. from their site looks like they don't have the e1500 in stock. they do have the e1200 @ $34 and e2500 @ $74
not a huge bargain and you'll prob be able to find the cash back with other suppliers.
happy bargaining!

Asus RT-N13U is a router you should also consider, especially if you're after DD-WRT as it's one of the cheaper routers that support it.
(was supposed to be a reply to Daver)
C-Net Review:
"The bad: The Linksys E2500's range is short and its 2.4GHz-band performance is subpar. The included Cisco Connect >utility provides limited access to the router's features, doesn't work in sync with the Web interface, and >requires a live Internet connection to work."
I've started looking around for a N wireless router, but Linksys seem to have dropped their standards..
Asus or Netgear appear to be the recommended brands.
Yes I'll be keeping my distance from Linksys seeing as they're resting on brand rep these days, and their pricing becoming less keen. As for the Asus, while cheap, I believe this would reach up to one third my potential Speedpack 'Mbps', cancelling this out. So then, it is TL-WR1043ND; features Gigabit, is cheap and supports open DD-WRT, and if VoIP performs anything like it does on my Tp-link ADSL router this one should be fine indeed. & Telstra..you're going to soon lose another connection, tired of 2.5mbit.
Thanks for the post. I am in need of similar and have had good experience with MSY (unlike mwave earlier) shopping.
Might have a research between $77 and $68 (TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND) models for suitability with Optus wired cable modem.
