Cheapest reliable wireless router

[barich]

I need a router for an Echo Show and one wired desktop. That's all that will be connected. No need for particularly long range, either. All I really care about is that it will be reliable. I am going to be hundreds of miles away and don't want to have to walk through power cycling or more complicated troubleshooting all the time.

Thoughts?

The ASUS AC-RT51U is cheap and cheerful. It can do wireless bridge, AP or router modes. I have one of these as it has a 3G/4G double wan for traveling away from home. It’ll do the job you want it for. 4 ports for Ethernet. £34.99. There are two variants of the 51U

I would go for a Netgear R6300V2. Rock solid router, you just set it up and forget about it.

The TP-Link C7/A7 is also a solid cheap router.
