I needed to do basically the same thing, and one of the regular posters
here advised either flashing firmware on one of my existing routers
(looked like a steep learning curve) or buying a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP.
It connects wirelessly to an existing wireless router or access point,
and has 4 ethernet ports 'out'. If I read the docs correctly, you can
connect up to 2 computers directly to it, or you can connect another
wired/wireless router's WAN port to one of the Buffalo's ethernet ports,
and you now have 4 wired ports plus wireless access to the internet.
This is what I did & it works great with relatively simple setup. When
the moon's in the right phase & I hold my mouth just right, I can
connect to a router that's over 800 feet away & indoors behind a couple
of walls at around 600-800kb/sec (PCpitstop measurement) on a 1Mb/sec
DSL account. It is noticeably faster than my 40kb/sec dialup. :-) Only
problem is that the original router is in a laundry closet & dirty
clothes make for a very effective RF filter at 2.4 GHZ.
Best $58 I've spent on computer hardware in a long time.
