Wireless modem for Shed out the back !!! Recomendations needed.


My nephew needs a modem that has some range. Probably a router with
the card to put in the PC out in the shed. But i have no idea how to
set one of these up so i need some help. And some recomendations on
equipment.

The range would be somthing like 20 metres or so. And not in a direct
line of site.

The rason he wants this is becuase his wife does NOT liuke him having
his PC on all night downloading. And as his wife does not go into the
Shed which is a carport. Multipurpose area. Its the perfect place to
leave a PC on all the time and download whatever.

Does the pc in the house have to be on for the PC in shed to connect
to the internet. As thats the problem needing to be solved NO pc on in
the house and PC on in shed. I asumed a pc would need to be on in the
house to be able to be connected to the net to send the net connection
to the PC in the shed.

Please let me know if this is th ecase. I have not used any wireless
devices other than mouse and keyboards.

Thanks for any help.

If he connects a wireless router to his internet(DSL/Cable?)modem and then
wirelessly connects his"shed" computer the computer in the house does not
need to be on.Any good wireless router would do the job and it could be
placed inside the house next to the modem.The Wireless card would connect to
that distance.The House computer can connect to the router with the usual
cable.here is one of many on the market

A laptop might be a good solution.he can take it wherever he wants and if he
sets up a small network whatever he downloads on the laptop he can move/copy
to the Main PC in the house.
