If you just want wireless access, then get a
wireless access point.
These are just suggestions. Anything will work, really.
The edimax one has a very limited range if there any barriers. I plugged it into my switch (in the next room) and barely got a signal at my computer 12 feet (3m) away. Granted, it was up with some HVAC ductwork and had to go through two walls, but still weak. The netgear wireless router that use for most everything else penetrates those walls just fine.
With no barriers, the range is great. Perfect for a hotel or conference room.
