limited internet connectivity
The “new” router I bought from 012 Smile is basically on its last breath. Despite being purchased in April of this year. The warranty is only good if you are still an 012 customer. And I’m not. Thankfully. I need a new router. Does anyone know where in Tel Aviv I can get a linksys for less than 780 sheks, which is what I found today at Dizengoff Center. Level One’s are a nightmare, clearly. I had good luck with Linksys before, lasting for like 4 years and every router since then has died and died quickly. Ok posting this before the connection dies again!

Is this something I can get for you in the US and send?

That’s an outrageous price! it should be about a third (or less!) of that price.

780 shekels should be something around US $ 200. That is way overpriced for a router which sells in the US for about $ 40. With Linksys I hope you will be doing well, I have been using Linksys for 10 years now. First one gave up after about 6 years. Second one still in service.
However, until you find one, you might just go without a router. Just plug your cable into the modem directly.

334 shekels already sounds better.

go to http://www.zap.co.il – they have different Linksys models from 250 shekels upwards. See how much the one you want is, and then order it over the internet (just check who the warranty is provided by first)

What is a router?

It’s amazing how bad the life cycle of these items is. But the market’s moving so fast–as are the technology standards– you can’t be sure Linksys will still be your best bet. Worth putting out a call on Twitter et al to see what the power users are recommending from their experience of punishing constant net use.
Shana tovah, ketivah v’chatimah tovah–for you and everyone dear to you.
