[geeks] wifi ap advice

[Lionel Peterson]

To be honest, if range isn't important (like line of sight, or other side of
the wall) and you don't have a preference over which band 2.4 or 5 GHz, a
cheap so-called 'travel router' should suffice.

Single band, $30

TP-Link N300 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR802N) - WiFi
Bridge/Range Extender/Access Point/Client Modes, Mobile in Pocket

Dual band, $40

TP-Link N300 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR802N) - WiFi
Bridge/Range Extender/Access Point/Client Modes, Mobile in Pocket

These require a USB 'brick', which appears to be included. I've used them as
wifi clients for wired devices, they're fine for modest needs.
