Would this work?

Would this cheap router work alright as a relay?

Don't know much about networking, spare me

Due to a little too little information about what you want to achieve, I would just hint at grabbing a range extender or accesspoint...

What do you mean by relay? What do you want to do exactly?

Live in a decently sized house, the wireless cuts off about 3/4 way through from one corner to the other. We're subscribed to 80 down/40 up

 

Just want to extend wireless range.

Right. Then grab a range extender, repeater or AP, like suggested. No need for another router, it'll only make it more complicated. For the best results with an extender and whatnot, place it right on the edge of the first speed drop. If you want to maintain full signal everywhere, you'll need a good few.

Gotcha, thanks

You can also use powerline adapters, which are pretty much just plug in and go and would give you faster speeds than WiFi usually.

Already have wired pretty much everywhere, its just the wireless that lacks.

The point with powerline adapters is that you wouldn't need to use Wifi, just plug an adapter into the nearest wall socket to the pc or laptop and you have a connection that is faster than WiFi, at least if you buy a solid kit. You can get decent gigabit powerline adapters for around $40 for a pair.

Though I don't need more wired connections, that area is already settled. Many of my devices don't support a wired connection so all I am needing is stronger wireless for that last quarter of my house.

You'll get pretty shitty speeds with that router but have at it.

What about phones, tablets and slimline notebooks? They'll need WiFi anyway. A decent access point or repeater shouldn't be much of an issue speed wise.
