Cheapest router

[nadeem_k]

Hi

I am looking for the cheapest possible router I can find, it doesn't need have WiFi but ideally a Gigibit port. I have a TP link deco but it only has 2 ports so I need a cheap router to assist with some one of my cabled devices. So the setup I envisage is having the fibre box connected to cheap router and then the router connected to the Deco for my Wifi.

I guess the other option is to use a switch?

You can get a switch for R100 new

Switches are what you looking for, the prices for the gigabit one were roughly R400.

I bought the 8 port Tplink switch with the deco m5 for $19 from Amazon. Works perfectly.
How did you set the deco up as the modem? - I cannot find the steps to do it.

The Deco is already a full fledged router. What you really need is a switch, not another router.
