Hey, im looking for a router to plug into my current router via ethernet and use as an extension. Preferably it'd use same ssid and auto switch but that doesn't matter too much. It only needs a range of 5 meters or so but i wouldn't say no to a higher range of roughly 25 meters  as we go to the local pub a fair bit ;) and it'd preferably cost about $50. Oh and it also needs to do ethernet out at the same time but id assume that they all do that.

I would much rather just get myself a router, switch, and access point... increase the failure domain, if say your wireless stops working then you may have to replace the access point... etc.
