Hello,
i've moved to an own apartment now, and my room has only two internet ports (one RJ-45 and the other one im not sure, btw i live in a student apartment). and i would like to be able to use the internet from my room (10mbps) on all my devices (pc, laptop, phone etc.). so i've been looking into some cheap wifi routers, and i though i found a good one...
ASUS RT-N10E for under 20e, i don't need a fancy or über good one, but a working one..
you guys have any thoughts/experience on this router?
 
You may want to use a wireless analyzer such as one of the hundreds available for smart phones to check out what the bands look like in your apartment. If it's a really crowded building, chances are the 2.4GHz band is way overcrowded, and you'd be a lot better off investing in a 5GHz wireless router.

This really. Dual band is always the better bet since the UNII band (5 GHz) allows so much more room than ISM (2.4 GHz, only 3 non-overlapping channels), and yet the vast majority of neighboring devices will be on that more limited frequency range..
