It is hard to find other access points from name brands at this price point. If the limited amount of Ethernet ports is unappealing to you, NETGEAR has you covered. You can grab its unmanaged 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch for $22.50. All you have to do is plug in the main Ethernet cable from the access point and connect power, and you’ll instantly have 4 more ports. While it is unmanaged, you can select what device to give network priority to. This is good if you have a game console or TV plugged in and want minimal lag or buffering.

With the ability to connect 64 devices, you can easily start techifying your home with smart home devices. Check out our smart home hub for all the latest deals on that tech.
