Wireless access in shed
#1
Smile 
As title suggests, I want to extend wireless access to my shed which is out of range probably because it's a tin shed plus the physical distance.
So I've run a CAT6 cable from my existing Skinny modem/router in the house...

What is ideal for a wireless transmitter type device in the shed on the end of that CAt6?
What are the cheap solutions, hacks or workarounds?
Will one of my old wireless modems work for the shed, plugged in there? I should have an old Spark modem somewhere..
What are the pros and cons? I suppose any device on the Cat6 will be effectively be on my home network so passwords, Ip addresses and those considerations apply?
How do I make the whole system seamless so I can walk back and forth between house and shed with no issues?

This must have been done a thousand times, much must have been worked out. Best most reliable ways and the like.
Thanks for any thoughts, tips etc. Keen to hear experiences
