Here's a trick:

Go print out a CDW price (if there's one near you):
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/defaul ... rintable=1

CDW has the price for $85

then go to Best Buy, price match it (mine still had the Netgear MR314 in stock)..

after the PM, you'd have $85 - 20 MIR = $65

Anyone know if those NIC's work with WinXP? It only says 98, ME, and 2K. Anyone know?

There's an XP driver for them on NetGear's website:

Yup. That'll do it. This router/AP unit will replace your current router.
