Hello. I just moved into a new apartment and I need better wifi coverage as well as some ethernet ports in the far side away from my primary router. My thinking is something like this

Primary router -> powerline adapter -> powerline adapter -> secondary router

The secondary router would function as a wireless access point as well as a switch to connect ethernet cables. Ideally it would provide N wireless speeds. Does anyone have suggestions for a secondary router that would work well in this setup? Thanks!

I recommended the Asus, because I use two of them a APs and have a third one as an emergency backup router in case the FIOS router takes a dump...

Budget isn't a consideration so much as getting my moneys worth. I think I should easily be able to get this done for <$100, so I suppose I'm looking for recommendations in that price range.
