Only if she is within range (ie same building). All that is needed is to display available access points and connect to yours (entering your passphrase).

There are certain legal requirements that some ISPs are concerned with, but theses are more to do with hosting web services etc. For end users such as yourself and your graddaughter you are ok, and realistically only limited by the bandwidth / connection speed and the number of users on it. ie the more people try to connect to your network, the more it is shared out between you

Hi Joe

Yes of course your grandaughter can share your wireless legally so long as she is within range of your wireless router and she has a wireless adaptor/card in her laptop.

If you have set up security on your wireless router then she will need the password.

Your grandaughters laptop if wifi enabled should be able to find your connection.
