How to add one wireless device to wired LAN?

Malestrom

I currently have a Linksys BEFSR41 cable router sharing my Blueyonder connection to two PC's, one downstairs next to the router and one upstairs. Everything is wired but I may be looking to add a laptop in the near future and would like this to be able to share the Internet connection wirelessly.

So, my question is, do I need to buy a wireless router or is there some cheaper method by which I can accomplish the same task whilst utilising my existing router?

Thanks

You could get a wireless access point to complement your existing router (something like this ), but I doubt you would be able to make any significant saving in comparison with the purchase of new router.

Hi if your modem has ethernet out then this maybe a good solution, it's a wireless router that allows 5 wired connections and 5 wireless connections. This bit of kit also gives you one usb plug so you can use on laptop and pc so you can get started:
