They may just have been assuming you'd be familiar with the necessary manual configuration then. It's one of these things that's not hard when you know how, but assumes a lot of background knowledge to pick the right configuration for your needs, and to get you out of difficulty if things don't go as planned. Differences in how different distros deal with network configuration can complicate it too. If you're interested in learning then it's still an option, if not the easiest one. Other options like wifi extenders, and sticking a USB wifi dongle on the end of a USB extension lead, will probably be quicker and easier.
