I have a internet wireless router at the front of my house. My office is at the end of my garden so I have extended the network via a electrical plug extender to a remote switch which works great for my laptop and VPN phone. What I need now is to have wireless in my office so can I do this by plugging in a wireless type hardware into the remote switch in my office. However I don't want to mess up others using wireless via the original wireless router.
I hope this is clear.
Thank you

You can extend the wireless by just attaching a wireless access point to the switch in your office. I would recommend just configuring an inexpensive router as a wireless access point -- you need to do is use a different non-overlapping radio channel.

Thank you. So just buy any wireless router and plug it into the existing switch and set it up as a wireless access point so I would allow me to access the switch and get to the internet via that right? And use a different radio channel to the existing wireless router in the house? Or should I buy a new wireless router and plug that into the extended ethernet point in the power socket extender?
