What are you all's thoughts on Asus brand routers? I know they have a new one coming out but checking prices on that one is way, and I mean way out of my budget range. I've looked at Netgear, which is also out of my budget range today, and Linksys (I've used in the past, but not aware of their capability now days), and TP-Link (I'm not enamored with).

I found this one at Newegg, that's just the right price I can afford to buy today, and I've abandoned the extender idea in favor of a router. See my other thread over at Sysopt.

There is an ethernet cable in my living room, I can hook the router to that, then wifi off that to my desktop and get it up and running this next week, instead of having to wait until January if you think this router would work until I could afford something better or I win the lottery.
