Question Wireless Booster?

I have wired up my house so that I can patch an output fom my broadband router to an RJ45 plug at certain points in the house.

All well and good.

However, I need to be able to connect in a place where there isn't an RJ45. I have a laptop with wirelesss card. Is there something I can connect to that RJ45 plug that will effectively take that signal and boost it so that it can be picked up by a wireless (i.e. Wi-fi) receiver?

Just looking for something simple ...

Thanks!

Hello

That is how most wireless routers work. You just plug them in to a RJ45 socket and away you go.

Thanks for the replies.

Boxst - I don't really need a router, all I need is something that will take the signal from the router I have. I would guess that if i add another router it gets complicated ... ?
