@rpe Sky no longer sell them, but as @cookiemonsteruk posted you should be able to buy one from ebay etc. Or a generic wireless access point (historically known as a 'games adaptor') would do the job.

There are standard network boxes that have Ethernet to Wi-Fi, I have used one myself years ago these allow any non-wifi device to get a connection
