Basically I want to extend my wireless network as there is one room in the house which doesn't get wireless.

I have a virgin superhub and there is an ethernet cable already from the superhub already in place for where I would put the new device.

I don't want to have to add any more wireless settings to my devices that use the internet. Is it possible to buy a router that simply "extends the network" and has the same wireless key and name and the device I want to use simply connects to the closest base station?

If so, what do I need to buy and how much will it cost?
 
Superhub router is downstairs at the front of the house. This is where my Virgin internet comes from. There is an ethernet cable running from the Superhub router to a room at the back of the house upstairs. This seems the ideal place to put an access point.

A Wireless access point seems to be what I am after. Can I just get any old router and have it in WAP mode or do I need I need a specific device?

I take it that I just set it up with the same SSID and key settings as the superhub and any device that wants to connect to my network will simply choose whichever one is closest?
