How To Get Wi-Fi From Router With Long Ethernet Cable?

[desious]

Is there a way to get wi-fi using an ethernet cable that is connected to the main modem?

Is there a box with an antenna I can connect the ethernet cable to so I can get wifi in this part of the house with no internet signal?

If this is possible what it a good item I can buy that isn't too expensive?

A WIFI Access point (AP) can provide WIFI while connected to an ethernet cable. You can use an old router as a WIFI AP if you have an extra WIFI router. Here is the Tom's sticky on how to convert a router to an AP -- http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/36406-43-convert-wireless-router-wireless-access-point

If you literally wanted/needed to send wifi signals over an Ethernet cable, you could use the product below:

This isn't rated much higher than 2.4 GHz, though, plus, you'd need to convert impedance and also pin-out several times. It's very unlikely you had anything like this in mind since it'd work only if you have vacant antenna ports on a router as well as impedance converters handy, but for the sake of argument, "yes."

Otherwise, you could use coaxial cabling natively to send wifi, or buy a wired access point and use that with power over Ethernet (PoE) or a separate power brick at the remote location. The wired AP might need to be on another subnet.

Purchase an Access point of another cheap router and convert to an access point. Simple.

Thank you everyone for your help I will use a Wi-Fi Access Point to extend the signal.
