Newegg.com is currently offering the Asus WL-520gU for $34.99 after rebate. This is the lowest price I have seen in a while, so if you’ve been debating picking one of these up to play with, it might be a good time to buy.

The WL-520gU is the very hackable wireless router I used in my Wifi Radio project.  It’s also the router used in LadyAda’s Tweet-a-Watt and the subject of a talk I gave this year at NOTACON.

It’s interesting to note that Newegg recently added the words “DD-WRT Open Source support” to the product title, so obviously they are aware of how many people buy these routers just to toss the stock firmware and throw on DD-WRT, Tomato, OpenWrt, or the oleg.wl500g.info firmware instead.
