Hi,

I want to buy a new wireless router that will cover my office floor.
I sometimes need to work away from the router around 50 meters away.
In between there will be some 1.3m tall dividers. and may be a thin door.

Any cheap routers can do that?
One antenna will do?

this one is way too expensive.
i was looking for something like $10 to $15.
It doesn't have to be fast, b or g is enough

50 meters and $15 would not go with single Router.

If you can run a cable to a second spot in the middle of the way and configure a second Router as an Access Point them any Wireless Router would do.

You will NOT get a reliable router for $15, and definitely not a decent range. Outside of finding something at a garage sale, you'll never find something trustworthy at that price. $50 is still a pretty solid price for a good router.

Then you are going to get an old used piece of junk that someone is tired of screwing with. Stick with wired until your funds allow a decent router.
