Need to buy a thingy for christmas. What do I call it?

[Hayabusa Rider]

My father-in-law has a router and wants to connect his cable modem to another modem. There is a thingy (so he tells me) that plugs into his router to make it wireless. Obviously it would be some kind of tranceiver. WTH is it, and is one brand better of whatever it is than another?

i think you've fangled up the story here. He wants to connect two modems together or he wants to go wireless with his current modem?

Currently
Modem goes into router. Router connected via cable to 1 computer

What he wants

Same as above, but wants to connect another computer wirelessly.

Going to look up WAP.

Thanks guys
