I'm looking for a REALLY cheap router

10ochamberlain1

I need an extremely cheap wireless access point to come from my switch and give me wifi about 4m away from it. Range isn't an issue as I'll never use it more than 5m away and speed is also not an issue as my internet is also only 3mbps on a good day and I also won't be pulling from a home server using it. Any ideas? I'm going for bad quality with extremely low price to match

An actual Router:

If you want a pure Access Point (and not a router that you would need to turn into an access point):

TP-Link, if you're looking for something portable, the TP-Link TL-WR702N miniature portable router is awesome, I own one, and I bring it to my family members' houses sometimes and hook up my own router or something, it works quite well. They for around $20 on eBay usually.
