I personally take "TP-Link" and "Edimax" at about the same grade...

I always claim cheap is actually expensive.

b.t.w. you mentioned you wanted 1Gbps. The model you specified is 10/100.

For 1Gbps, I suggest this D-Link model :

One of its benefits is that it is a "green" model, i.e. it consumes less
electricity (the higher your bandwidth, the more wattage they take, even
when idling...) - so there's ROI here.

And yes, I know it's relatively expensive considering to the prices you've
mentioned so far. I think there's a good reason behind that. But that's just
me :)
