What your talking about is a
network bridge or access point, the two modes are different. You would need a regular router and an AP/bridge set to bridge mode.
The one I'm using is a Dlink DAP1522 which I'm using in AP mode, highly recommended.
In bridge mode it will connect wirelessly to a router and has eithernet ports so you can connect other machines to it with a standard eithernet cable.
In AP mode you need to connect an eithernet cable to a wired switch which would provide an access point for other wireless machines to connect too.
