Sounds like you want a wireless bridge. I know Linksys

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.
