How to set up a wireless point on a system using wired router/ modem?

I am operating a wired network of four computers, using an old modem and router. Is there any form of wireless router that I can plug in after the wired system to give a wireless connection for my laptops? Is it straightforward to install?How to set up a wireless point on a system using wired router/ modem?
It is true that the 'wireless access point' is usable in your case. However they are not easy to find. In fact any wifi router, which are very common in stores, can be used. You would have two choices, one just replace your existing router with the new wifi router, or run a wire from one of the LAN ports of the existing router to the WAN port of the new wifi router.How to set up a wireless point on a system using wired router/ modem?
Yes, this is possible, and fairly straight forward. The hardware that you are looking for is called a wireless access point (WAP). They differ from routers in that they do not assign IP addresses, and they are very easy to setup.



I have been told that this one works well, and has the added benefit of supporting N speeds.

Yes there are many wireless routers for this purpose and fortunaetly not too much expensive ( last week i bought one for just 25 $ 100 m range model : tl- wr340gd) if you are going for 4 port wireless router and mostly they are plug and play. you just need to take a wire having LAN connecters on both ends then plug one side of connecter to ur wired router and other side to ur wireless router then place the adoptor of wireless router in electricity switch and then search for wireless network from your laptop and now you have running wireless internet connection on ur laptop. And before going to purchase any wireless router please keep in mind that how much distance you want to cover bcoz some routers also give you extended range for just few more $$.



Thanks
