Wtb: cheap but reliable router for family use

greetings guys-

I have a family member who lost their router to lightning today. Being it’s the day after Christmas they didn’t exactly have the money to rush to Best Buy and buy anything.

I figured I’d ask here before I took them out to retail stores.

Family of 4, they have mostly N devices. About 4 devices connected wirelessly and a 12mb internet connection.

Looking for something cheap, basic and reliable.


Send me a pm if you have anything sitting around. Unusually, I have no spare routers currently.

I've got one of these I'm not using for anything. It is flashed to dd-wrt, but has worked great in every mode I've needed to use it for.

Where does it need to go?

Here's someone on another forum that has one for shipping:
