I was in the market for a wireless 802.11N draft usb stick for my desktop when I stumbled onto the 49AUD deal on JB-Hifi's website. Officeworks are currently offering this at 119AUD, so I'm pretty happy I got it at 46.55AUD. I don't know why I always feel good when I've jipped big companies out of a little bit of money… I may have some sort of mental disease. :)
Here are some lazily pasted tech specs for the D-link DWA-140 Rangebooster N USB Adapter
If it turns out to be crap I'll return it and delete this post.
