Hi

I was chatting to my brother in law earlier and he needs a new access point (or router that can be turned into an access point) for his living room.
He already has a router that is good enough for what he wants in terms of wired connections, but it's never worked reliably with Idevices so a few years back I gave him a Linksys WRT54GS, which is now dying (and is really really old).

So does anyone have a suggestion for either a wireless access point or Router for around £50 that works well with things like Iphones, assorted tablets etc and has a reasonable range.

I can see a bunch on the store but have no real idea and can't find much out about several of them, i'd probably take a punt on one of the ASUS or TP link ones, but as it's not for me I want to try and get it right first time:)
 
Cheers, I'll have a look at the Ubiquiti's as they seem to be about what I think he'd like but I'm not sure if he'll agree with the cost :) (the reason he's been using my old linkysys for years is partly because he didn't want to buy a new AP/router originally).

I'm actually tempted to get one for here as well, as it looks like it would be better than the old Belkin router I've got running as an access point in the living room (and with it being POE I could easily try moving it around the place to get a better signal).
For some reason I thought they were a lot more expensive.
