So, the wife and I just got new smartphones. Amazing little contraptions. Anyway...to keep us from using our data plan as much, I want to add a wireless router to my home computer to allow us to connect to it instead, while we are here in the house (wife on Facebook). Many friends have told me to just "go out and get a router". Well I like to know that any purchase I make is the correct one so I've been online all day researching. My head is now about to expload. There are so many out there. We do not play games on our phones and will not be streaming movies to the tv. I just want wi-fi in the house. However this has got me thinking that if I get the right router maybe I would also get a signal out in my shop? Shop is only about 30-40 feet from house.
Anyway, I've read that I need an "N" type router? Can someone recommend what to look for. I would like to keep it under $100.00 if possible.
