My connection is 100mbps and both computers are within 15ft of the router--one is on the other side of the wall from the router, but is hollow interior wall. I only do basic stuff like browsing the internet, some 1080p streaming, no intensive gaming. All the routers I'm seeing are overkill for my needs. I'm thinking there are probably some budget ones out there that woild be a good fit but I don't know much about routers. Ideally would like to find a reliable one for cheap enough that I could buy 2 of them and have a backup in case of failure. High end of budget is $70, but any that are less expensive and durable would be great too.

I once bought a lot of WRT54GL routers (the open-source ones that are re-programmable) for like $11-12 ea. in a case box qty. (10)

I gave them away.
