Need a good/cheap wifi reciever for small sub network.

So I just back in with the parents and will probably be here for the next 6 months to a year. Currently our internet runs into the living room downstairs and broadcasts wireless through the house. This is usually fine but I have a couple pc's and a tablet and a phone that I want to run off my own private network (plus I dont have wireless adapters for the pc's) but still need to connect to the internet through wifi. Right now I have a cheap dlink dir 601 running dd-wrt but I dont think it can act as a wifi bridge.

So here is what I need the cheapest possible way to add a wifi reception to my network whether it a wifi receiver that I can add to my dlink router or a new router/bridge/access point. It doesnt matter as long as I can have my own sub network but internet via wifi.

What is the cheapest way to do this? I will probably be supporting 3 wired devices and 2+ wireless devices.

Get an Asus router. I remember there is a model that can act like a range booster, / adhoc and router. Just sliding the swithc on the back. this router is white and got 2 antennas

This one man ! use it as a repeater. and youll be able to connect the wire to your computer and other wireless thing remains wireless since its a repeater and range booster.
