I have 2 suggestions:
- Take an Ethernet cable for when there is only wired access.
- Try Apple's Airport Express. This is a small unit which plugs into
the wall and provides either base station facilities or a Wireless
Distribution System, extending an existing network.

I have 2 at home in addition to the dedicated, non-portable base
station in the cellar; one extends the network upstairs to the first
floor (the one above the ground floor ... ) and the other extends it
to our Annex, a small converted barn where people come to stay.
