    You need to connect a wireless router to your modem and that allows you to sit anywhere in your house and coneect to your internet connection. You'll also need to have wireless cards or adapters on any computers on the network.

    Routers are cheap enough... you should be able to pick one up for about €50. Or you can get a router and modem in one for a little bit more.

    I just got a Wireless Access Point, plugged it into my router (which wasnt wireless), got some network adapters (USB are the easiest) and ta-da im wireless. Iv a fairly large house and have signal pretty much everywhere. Even in the building just a few meters in front of the access point!

    Its worth every bit of cash I spent. :)
