the best way would be to purchase a WIRELESS ACCESS POINT.
plug it into the network and log into the web console via internet explorer (you may need the manual to do so or IP address will be on the bottom)
once you're logged in, give it a STATIC ip address.
best way to do this would be to go onto a PC on the network already and go to start > control panel > network connections
right click on local area network > status
take down the IP address of that machine (eg 192.168.1.XXX)
default gateway (eg. 192.168.1.1)
DNS (eg. 192.168.1.1)
then from the same PC, go to start > run > cmd > OK
type for example: ping 192.168.1.5 (5 being a random number just to find an IP address which isnt being used)
if this comes back with request timed out then go ahead and put the 192.168.1.5 IP into the access point along with subnest mask (default it is 255.255.255.0), default gateway, DNS.
obviously then setup the SSID and WPA/WEP password.
