add wireless to ethernet connection...?

hi

freind lives in a caravan in folks garden. he's run an ethernet cable out there, but is looking to use wireless.

could i please have a suggestion for a cheap gismo that will allow wireless connection to the existing cable? speed not really too much of an issue, its just for browsing etc.

many thanks

You will need an access point. Does he still require a cable connection or is he going to use only wireless?

ethernet would be a bonus, but not essential. plug socket is not too much of an issue.

I'd use a wireless router configured as an access point. You'll then have a few Ethernet ports spare for wired devices.

i have a spare netgear wireless router i could bung him. is it going to be an arse to set up?

that sounds more of an arse than telling him its wireless only
