Wireless Access Point Help

[Jomadav 0]

A long time ago someone recommended to me a small, grey wireless access point made by D-link or TP- Link for about 30-40$ and I am trying to find the model #.

 

 

What I am trying to do is : I have my modem downstairs and a WL Router upstairs in my house that has one LAN port feeding a GIGA switch back downstairs and I am running out of ports. I want to "reverse" my setup - put modem, WL router, and switch downstairs and run one line back upstairs to just a WL access point.

 

 

I already have runs for the TV and BluRay off the switch So all I need is just the access point upstairs.

 

I also am open to redesigning or rearranging what I have going here.

Just buy L access point that agrees with your wallet.

...."L" ?

Cheapest way to do it is going to be buying an access point from say Best Buy and put it up there. If you had roughly $200 to spend, I'd try putting in 2 Ubiquiti Unifi access points (one downstairs and one upstairs) and then you would essentially have a 1 large wireless network.
