THANK YOU .
I am without any knowledge of routers,bridges,repeaters other than I know what they are called.The device advised seems fine but as I am in possession of a TP link TL_WA501G wireless access point do you know if I could use that? it is capable of routing bridging repeating etc.I really know so little of what I am asking that I do not know if even my question makes sense

This one will work, just got one myself. Same as above, but cheaper.

eBay.com Wifi Bridge Wireless Access Points AP for Dreambox RJ45 Item no: 320553993158

But power from USB (from my PC) was insufficient so it required power into the power plug.

The power line communication can operate with any ethernet-enabled device, such as desktop computer, network printer, laptop computer, Router, ADSL, or a security camera. It is operating system independent and can be used with any Microsoft Windows, Linux or MAC OS operating system. By applying this powerful and higher speed networking solution, you just need to plug this adapter into AC power socket and then connect it to PC's Ethernet port. Through the wider bandwidth support.
