Buy a network adapter, link below.
Install the software on your shop computer, plug in the adapter, start the programme, look for Networks in your area, when you see yours (router must be running and connected), select it and enter Passwords etc…..
Make sure when selecting your network that you select the same security you have on your router, ie 64bits or 128bits, and when you are about to enter password, Input method, click the side arrow and select Passphrase..(normal english)
Make sure your Firewall is active on your shop computer.
And also Virus protection Software

you will need to go out and purchass wireless repeaters, otherwise known as wireless access points. depending on your router at home (whether it be B, or G signal) the placement of the repeaters will vary. wireless G for instance has an optimal range of about 300 feet but id never place a repeater more than 200 on a G signal unless you really like lag. simply place the repeaters about every 200 feet between the router and where you want to use the internet from.
Note: the rebroadcasted signal should have the same security settings as the original however read your user guides and ensure this is the case as i have seen otherwise.
