I connect to the internet at work through a wired ethernet connection in my office which means i can only use my laptop at the desk. Would it be possible just to plug the ethernet cable into a router and then i could receive the signal wirelessly on my laptop and move around or is there another way round this??

Thanks.....

Technically possible? Yes. Advisable without professional assistance? No.

Essentially adding a wireless access point opens up your network to other, potentially unauthorized parties getting in. I would check with your IT department before you go any further.
