I guess I can buy a router, configure it and sent it to her, the problem is who will connect the right cables in the right place.
It should be pretty simple. With one computer, it's 2 cables. If you go with the wireless option you can do it with only one and no work at all if the network is unprotected and depending upon which linux she is running, it may be relatively easy to use a protected one.
It took about 30 seconds to set up access to my WiFi network under Ubuntu before they went with network manager (pre-9.04) and with 9.04 it took even less. All you need to know is the SSID of the network and the WPA/WEP key.
Some routers use color coded jacks, some don't. A little piece of colored tape would help if not.
If she speaks English, gets a TP-Link router from Ivory, and has a landline phone, I'd gladly call her and walk her through everything.
I'm also familar with EDIMAX routers and the BEZEQ Siemens one, but that's aDSL only.
