I have a problem with wireless devices in the house due to extremely thick
stone walls, knowing this I laid a cable through to the kitchen when doing
work on that recently to give us broadband access in there and that works
fine if we use an Ethernet cable to connect.

Question; is there anything I can plug into that Ethernet switch box which
would give me a wireless signal at that end?

I can't use the gizmos that plug in at either end and use the house wiring
as the kitchen has a differrent circuit and indeed fuse box to the rest of
the house.

I know there would be dedicated groups out there but I have learnt to trust
some of the posters here (and I may not understand the answer on a more
techy site!)

Yeah. You need people who are bilingual in Geekish and English.

Yes, easily, but it's not just a plug-in, and will need power
(a little) and somewhere to be hung or stood. You need a wireless
router (also called modem, access point and more). It wouldn't
take me long to do, though I am not a networking person, but I
would advise getting someone to work out what to do and set it up.

It's likely to be a bit beyond most local suppliers, so the easiest
way would be to try and contact the networking people at some
local organisation (e.g. university, some of the largest schools)
and pay them for a little outside work.
