    BT sell a usb aerial to connect wirelessly to the hub. You can connect up to 10 PCs to a BT hub. Look on their website.

    I assume your BT hub has wifi connectivity if so all you need is a USB wifi dongle for any PC you want to connect wirelessly. here are some links to help you

    You would need to set up a wireless network using the instructions in the manual or ring BT helpline

    cheapest option – long cat5 cable. more expensive option wireless router, and you PC will need wireless USB dongle

    Cheapest option is probably a 10 metre (depending on cable route) ethernet cable, but some dislike them and can be a pain if you have to go through doorways etc.

    Next cheapest option (assuming fairly close) would be to get a wireless adaptor for the PC in the other room (eg a USB dongle off Ebay / Ebuyer)

    Last, if you have any wireless ‘dead spots’ or a long distance or don’t want the security drawbacks of allowing wireless, you could use powerline (data over mains) but would need to buy 2 units (eg Solwise adaptors, perhaps found cheaper on Amazon) and make a hole in 50 quid.
