Whatever someone will pay for it. Somewhere between $50 (the current
bid) and $150 (list price new). You can get wireless APs for on the
order of $50, so IMHO it's not very interesting...

Should I just save some money and get a Linksys WRT54G? Only reason I
was looking at the Senao is slightly better receive sensitivity.

Don't need to save a lot:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...124-010&depa=0
has them (today) for $50, and the local Staples has had them on sale
for right around there...

"Slightly better" recieve sensitivity doesn't really amount to much in
the real world.

Well, I do not think that the advertised product is a router. If you are
considering the WRT54G, then you are looking for a wireless router and this
access point/network bridge will not suffice (you'll have to buy a separate
router). In addition, the device is 802.11b and only seems to support WEP
encryption. For these reasons, I would not recommend bidding on the device.

I went with this one since it has WAP and I like the fact that it runs Linux
