Probably best to go back a couple generations and get an AC1200 or something without “cloud”.

I really appreciate everyone's feedback. We're trying to solve a problem for people with disabilities that don't have internet access or connectivity. It looks like the most affordable solution is using a smartphone, but for some folks, the display may be too small so we were wanting to mirror it on a TV if at all possible. TVs (and phones) these days require wifi access to mirror what is on a smart phone screen rather than using a cable. I just wanted to make sure that we could use a (cheap) wifi router to allow the two devices to communicate with each other and mirror the image on the phone to the TV.
