Hi Ant,
One simple trick to put Wi-Fi onto any desktop that has Ethernet
is to plug any old router into that port and configure that old
router as your Wi-Fi gateway (mine use a client/bridge setup).

Since I live on top of a mountain that has no utilities whatsoever
except for electricity (and landline, if people still use it),
we get our Internet from a few miles away over the air to an
antenna on another hilltop.

Given that situtaion, we always have spare antennas lying around where,
since they can go miles, they make great range extenders inside the house!

All you do is the following:
a. You usually flash the old router with dd-wrt (or equivalent).
b. You usually set up the router as a client bridge (or similar).
c. You usually connect to your home router (or AP hanging off of it).
