No, the existing network is a *wired* setup employing only Cat5

extra TP-Link gizmo that I'll buy is for adding wifi to the existing
wired installation.

Oh - I see. Thought you had a WIFI base station but it range was
insufficient.

No, no, not at all. I am perfectly content with a wired network, but
said relative only understands wifi, so I'm trying to meet this
requirement. Who knows? Maybe I'll become a convert to wifi myself in
future!
