Wireless, etc., from house to garage, part deux

Hi all, been a while but just to go back for a minute....

I had a post regarding the best way to get my wireless service from my house to my garage a while back, and figured I wouldn't resurrect an old thread.

Basically, what I've decided to do is, have my cable tv/internet/ telephone provider come out and just do an underground service run from the house to the garage. The garage is all hard wired w/cable and network cable, so I should be good and secure as far as being hardwired for TV, internet ,etc.

One question remains ... w/this service hardwired to the garage, I know that I should just be able to plug a computer into a network jack and have internet access .... however, I'm not looking for hardwired internet, I'd like to have wireless for my laptop. If I plug in a wireless router or WAP into a jack on the garage side of things, will it just automatically broadcast my signal, or will I have to give it certain settings that mimic my cable company's wireless router (Verizon FIOS) ... and no, I don't want to just do the parabolic antenna thing, been there, done that :-)

I don't really know anything about this. It probably makes sense to you guys, but I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I have wired and wireless access @ the main house. I'm running cable, etc., to the garage and will have wired internet there ... what do I plug into a jack to broadcast my wireless w/in the garage?

Thanks.
