Hey there,  I am in need of a new device to connect wirelessly to my main router/modem for my new internet. This is due to my PC being in a separate room to my router and the fact that my PC has no wifi built in (I have no pcie slot for a wifi card) In my limited research I have come to the conclusion that I need a wireless access point to plug in via Ethernet to my PC. My question is: A.) Is this the best choice for my situation?  B.) If anyone can provide any recommendations on access points around $60 or lower and able to sit on a desk,  I would appreciate it.   Thanks for all your help.
