ethernet to wifi??

my problem is I live in a stone house where the walls are 3 to 4 ft thick and the only way I can get internet for my lads xbox is by running a Ethernet extension through the attic and down into his room which is fine and works perfect,now he got a ipad for xmas and has to go to different part of the house for wifi which is a pain,is there anyway I can use the xbox as a wifi hotspot or is there some kind of adaptor I can plug the Ethernet cable into to make a wifi hotspot.

RE: ethernet to wifi??

You can use the cable that you have ran to the Xbox but installing a 4 port wireless router on it and then connect the Xbox to the router

You need a wifi extender. Available in most hi-tech shops or eBay.

Parcel motel would be cheaper assuming both parties use it.

Looking at it now you'll need something to convert the Ethernet to WiFi as well as this.

So you have a router with wifi ap in room 1 and ethernet cable going into room 2?

Get a wifi access point. Connect it to the ethernet cable in room 2. Use same SSID, Security type and key but different channel than router in room 1. Let router in room 1 to manage dhcp for entire network and bob's your uncle. Wifi roaming in house.

No. Full router is not necessary. Access point is without routing capabilities. Like this LINK

EDIT. First device in Falcons post is also access point.
