Wireless Broadband for desktop?

Hi
Ive just moved over to broadband with Orange and have a Livebox. With my dialup and broadband, my computer is in bedroom with long extension cable down to phone socket in sitting room (thats only phone socket). Is there any way of not needing the cable.. ie going wire free?

Regards
RichT

    I thought the orange livebox WAS a wireless router? You just need a wireless adapter (PCI or USB) for your pc and leave the livebox connected next to the phone socket in the sitting room.
