I don't know if you can get a router for less than $30. And no point getting something more complicated than required. An unmanaged switch just does one thing when powered on and nothing else.
Yes, my soul's goal here is simplicity. Its going to be challenging enough finding a surge protector with a long enough cord to reach all the way across the room to power not only this unit, but any computers using those extra ports. Kare
This is not really a large problem. Buy whatever surge protector with whatever cord length you can find. Go to the commercial section of your local Home Depot or similar. Ask for a 12/3 extension cord long enough to reach an independant plug and your computing area. If that distance is more than 30 feet buy that cord as a 10/3 - - - you will NOT have a problem out to 100 ft from that wall plug. (I landed up buying a 10/3 cord (actually bought cable and ends and made it up myself) after I damaged the rotor on a large angle grinder I was working hard - - - I think rated draw was 17A.) HTH
