    Do any of you guys know any good cheap wifi router? Under $80 preferably. It will most likely get a internet cable from the modem to the router and one cable to the desktop (Linux Ubuntu OS) and 2 wifi laptops. Also the laptops are not very far from the wireless router, probably 20ft the most...

    Thanks in advance!
