I have a wireless modem that works fine and have no problem connecting a few laptops to it. I have an older windows machine that does not have wireless capability. This machine is located in a different room to the modem and I would like to connect it to the internet. Is there something i can use to get the wireless internet into the second room with cable port for the older computer to plug in to?
A wifi receiver that will talk wirelessly to the modem and supply a cable port for the older machine?

Simple option is a $10 USB wireless card. Next option is a wireless bridge which many times is sold as a game adapter since it is mainly used on a gaming console but works fine on any device that has a ethernet.
