Review from 2 years ago: https://mashable.com/shopping/oct-11-deal-walmart-jetstream-wifi-routers/?europe=true https://mashable.com/shopping/oct-11-deal-walmart-jetstream-... "WiFi routers always seem to make you sacrifice something, don't they? You're either paying for speed and spending an ungodly amount of money, or opting for the budget pick and waiting forever for things to load. You shouldn't have to make that choice. One bright spot on the WiFi landscape could come from an unlikely place: Walmart. The big box store is gearing up to save you money and headaches by launching a line of store-exclusive routers that minimize cost and maximize performance." The cheap end were $35.

Router prices have boggled my mind for a while now. I bought routers on amazon for $10-15 bucks about 5 years ago and they were fine. No issues and just some cheap brand. Then one day I stepped into a best buy and a guy came up to ask me if I needed anything and I said "do you have any routers cheaper than well...$40?" The guy scoffed and said "Not if you want a good one." He then proceeds to show me a $100 one made for like 1gigibit internet and like 10 ports. I said "Nah I'll just go on amazon, thanks."

  2G+5G Routers with built in access points to support a multi-hundered mbit uplink? If you just want a simple 2.4Ghz access point for a typical 60mbit dsl you could probably get away with something like https://mikrotik.com/product/RB931-2nD https://mikrotik.com/product/RB931-2nD for $20. Obviously supports all the essentials you need from a home router (dhcp servers, natting, ospf+bgp, various vpns, etc), as well as things like mpls and vpls capability.
