Details:8-Port Gigabit Switch $35 after rebate
(repost)

D-Link DGS-2208 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is back at $45 with free shipping, and a $10 mail-in rebate is available. This is a great deal, since D-Link makes good quality networking products, and this one has very good specs and good reviews on Newegg. It connects up to 8 wired network devices and/or computers supporting 10, 100 and 1000 megabit speeds. It supports auto MDI-X, meaning any of its 8 ports can be used to uplink to another Switch or router.

For a similar cheaper products: Each of these have auto MDI-X uplink on each port, have excellent reviews on Newegg, and most other stores sell them for more.

Also a cablemodem and a router deal:
  • D-Link Cablemodem for $56, and a $20 mail-in rebate ($36 after rebate). Cable customers can save on the modem rental fee by supplying their own cablemodem. A few people say they noticed a small speed improvement over the cablemodem supplied by their cable company.
  • D-Link Gaming Router with Gigabit for $93, and a $20 mail-in rebate ($73 after rebate). This router does not include wireless, but some people say this router performed better than others and improved their broadband Internet connectivity.
They all share the same rebate form, and it can be used for up to 2 separate purchases through the end of May.

Advisory: This deal requires the customer to mail in at least one rebate. Make sure that you save a copy of the rebate form immediately, just in case they take the rebate form offline. It is also recommended that you mail in the rebate immediately after receipt of the item, otherwise you might forget to do so. And you should mark the maximum date that your check is expected to arrive, so that you follow up with the company if you do not receive the check in time. Rebates can be annoying, time consuming, and require a responsible person to follow the tedious rebate instructions. And, this involves the possible risk of the customer fulfilling the rebate requirements but the company choosing not to send the customer a rebate check for any reason. The more well-known or reputable the company is (the company itself, not the company's products), the more likely it is that you will get your rebate. If the rebate is from a company that you've never heard of, of if you question the company's business practices, chances are high that you will never see a rebate check. Understand that dealing with rebates are risky, so ask yourself if the product is worth full price in case you never receive a rebate check.
