If you need a wireless system for a large house, mesh Wi-Fi is definitely the way to go. If you’re looking for a router to use in an apartment or a small house though, there’s no reason to spend hundreds of dollars. In fact, there’s no reason to spend more than $20. The surprisingly good NETGEAR WNR2020v2 Wi-Fi Router with High Power 5dBi External Antennas retails for $30, but it’s on sale today on Amazon for only $19.98.
