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."
- iso1631 6y ago2G+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.
