Ok, I am moving back into my dad's house because I am a poor college student.  I am studying NCM (network communication management) at school but I can't figure out what to do for a WAP (wireless access point) at home.  I do not want to use a wireless router because we already have a router (vonage) and I don't feel like screwing around with that.  I want an access point so I can just hook it up and have it wireless signal.
 
Now, here are my requirements for this network.
 
IEEE 802.11g/n (Wireless n is not a requirement.  no real gains will the felt from the speed)
Range:  ~100 meters
I would like MIMO (again, wont really need this, but its a want)
I prefer linksys or Cisco (netgear is cool too, I just think they work funky)
Must be a reasonable price
Only needs to handle 5 users at once
 
I have looked at some products already and am not liking in what I am finding.  I just need some serious help!

Why not just get a wireless router, disable DHCP and don't use the WAN port?

They're all pretty much the same (as far as I can tell). I use the Belkin G wireless routers from Wal-Mart for ~$40.00 and don't have any problems.
