Cheap AP for client mode

Hi, I have a second residence where I can't get an adsl connection, but I have an unlimited LTE data plan (24€/mont w/tax in Spain) so I'm gonna use that.

The setup I have in mind is as follows:

-My Huawei E5776s MiFi will be the router
-An AP in client mode will connect to the MiFi wifi and send internet to the LAN port to a central switch.
-Some AP's are connected to the central switch for WiFi coverage

I have everything but the client AP. Well, I actually have a TL-WA830RE with openwrt that I was using as a client ap, but I can't get it to work anymore, and I'm tired of trying to configure it.

So I want the cheapest router or AP that can connect to my MiFi using the stock firmware (I don't care about the conniption speed) and that's known to be more or less reliable.

I've seen that in some other post someone recommended a TL-WR841N, which I can get in amazon.es for less than 17€ shipped. Do you know if it would do the trick? If it does I'll be amazing for it's price.

If not, can you recommend me something?

Thanks
 
You don't need an AP, you need a Bridge.

The TP-Link should be fine.

I wouldn't expect to find a better deal.
