Sounds like you want a wireless bridge. I know Linksys
makes one (can't remember
the model #) but my father-in-law uses one to wirelessly connect his DirecTV
receiver to the rest of his wireless network.
Just be careful with those bridges. I bought a Linksys WET11 to connect
an mp3 receiver. While it mostly works, there are a bunch of gotchas.
The WET11 does some screw-ball stuff like spoofing MACs of connected
devices, etc. ---- which is not configurable and can get in the way of
certain applications working correctly.
