Apparantly you already have a wired router. You just need a wireless switch to put behind it.
The max speed is usually 58 Mbps. This goes down as the signal becomes less strong. It's hard to determine how fast the signal will weaken, it mostly depends on the distance and the amount of walls between your wireless router and your mum's computer. But it also depends on the material the walls are made of. In general, if your house isn't too big, you should have a decent signal all over your house.
You can add a USB wireless adapter or a network card that supports wireless to her computer (USB is easier ofcourse).
Costs:
- wireless switch: around 60 $
- wireless USB adapter: around 40 $?
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Well any router and any wifi dongle will give you what you want. You have a 10mbit connection and the slowest router/dongle kits are 54mbit.
Didnt you mention before you already have a wireless router when we tried to setup your WPA/MAC filter settings? Just go and get a $20 wifi dongle and you're done.

Im gonna say this one more time because you dont seem to understand... The slowest routers you can get is 54g (54mbit) they dont make any slower anymore. Even if you got one from years ago then you'd have 11b which is 11mbit 1 more then your connection speed anyway.
Go and get yourself a Wi-Fi dongle....And before you ask, get any one.

im try to look more into this
