It was simplicity itself to set up. Charlie, I think (if I haven't
misunderstood the situation) that your solution should be as easy
as that to set up. Just plug the access point into the end of
your ethernet cable. I think that USR still supply wireless access
points - a quick google brought up a USR 5453.

No, it doesn't seem that USRobotics do simple access points any
more but if you go to, say, Amazon and search for "wireless
access points" you'll see some by TP-Link from between £20 and £30+.

I have ordered a TP Link router and will let you all know how I get on!

Many thanks for the many helpful bits of advice and enthusiasm to
help from everyone!

Hope this does what you want :-)
Be prepared for potential issues if you intended to share files or
printers between the kitchen and the office.

There should be no problem as long as file sharing is enabled and
that's no big deal.

File sharing across an AP should be O.K.
File sharing through a NAT router might be a little more difficult - a
while since I've played with cascaded NAT routers.

I hope that what Charlie meant was that he had ordered an access point,
rather than a router, in which case there will be no problem. An access
point is what I mentioned in my message quoted above.
