Just thought I'd mention the Linksys WRT54G is $29 at staples right now after $15 rebate. (Their ad shows $44 but doesn't mention the rebate.)
Great little repeaters with OpenWrt (or...) firmware.
Edit: Whoops. Was in Staples again today. All this store had on the shelf were version 5 of the G which isn't supported by aftermarket firmware yet. (It uses VxWorks, not Linux.) Should still be good for basic needs but I don't have any hours on this version.
They also have the WRT54GS on sale at 49 after rebate, but it's version 4 which has half the memory of GS versions 1-3. (Same 4MB flash/16MB RAM memory as most G versions). Versions 3 is the ticket if you want to use lots of features or need lots of connections. (busy net, from P2P or...)
