The cheapest way is FREE! I did some research for you and found a nice how-to for turning your computer into a wireless hotspot.

Re: which product do I need to add optional wifi to an ethernet modem?
To best answer this question, it would help to know more information regarding your ethernet modem. For example, if it is a simple modem, then you need a router. But if it is a combination modem router, then you can simply add a wireless access point. You could also use a USB Wifi adapter in a host computer to set up shared Wifi, but this is more complicated.

Re: which product do I need to add optional wifi to an ethernet modem?
I have entered the model of the router I have got above. Can you recommend a USB wifi adapter that I can plug in to my computer? You say it is complicated. How can I find out how to do this?
Thanks for your time
