You can reconfigure many old spare routers as access points and provide wireless access point features. Google the obvious phrase from the title + whatever model you have spare.
The point to remember is you connect via a standard RJ45 port not the the network RJ45 port.
I currently use a HH5 + HH3 and a TP Link in this configuration. To give good house garage coverage. You can set the SSID/password to the same, but I believe this can give problems across mixed manufacturers kit. It also makes fault finding more difficult.
A typical source is
unixetc.co.uk/2014/03/04/reuse-a-spare-bt-home-hub-as-a-wireless-access-point/
seems well written and comprehensive.
