It might well be a typo that gets corrected quickly, but Dell is currently selling the Linksys WRT610N for $20.90 delivered — less than a tenth of the standard price. Let us know in the comments if you manage to put an actual order through. Update: It’s now been pulled from the site.Thanks Ritwik! [Dell]

The link isn’t working for me, and I can’t find the item anywhere else on the site so I assume they’ve pulled it.
That said, I received my order confirmation for the one I bought. I hope they honour it, I have a really bad Belkin that I’ve been waiting to replace.

Our apologies…
The product you have selected is not currently available for online purchase in the segment you have selected.
So I guess they nerfed it.

Just tried logging into My Order Status using the Internet Reference Number supplied in the Order Acknowledgement email, and it doesn’t work! Have Dell just unceremoniously canceled the order without any further communication?

Just got this:
Dear Dell Customer
We are writing to let you know that there was an inadvertent error on the http://www.dell.com.au online store on 7 November 2009 that saw Dell list the Linksys WRT610N Dual Band Wireless-N Router for $20.90.This was a genuine mistake and the correct price is $280.90 including GST. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
While we make every effort to check pricing and other errors, inadvertent errors do occur from time to time. For this reason our standard terms and conditions of sale on the http://www.dell.com.au store state that Dell reserves the right to decline orders arising from such errors.
As your order has not yet been confirmed, your order has been cancelled and we will not process your credit card payment.
As a gesture of goodwill, Dell would like to make the router available to you at a special price of $229 including GST. If you wish to buy the router at this price, please contact Dell by phone at 1800-810-289 by 8th December 2009. Please note that there is a limit of one router at this special price.
We again would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Regards,
Dell Australia
