You will also extend your wireless network in the process!

Netgear Extender
Okay, I hadn't thought of that option, thanks. I need two wired ports (printer and desktop), so that one you linked wouldn't work (and I need a UK plug). Can anyone help out with the difference between a LAN jack and a WAN jack? Amazon locally has this
extender extender
which looks like it would do the trick but its two wired ports are 1 x LAN and 1 x WAN....can i use them both for local dumb devices?
