What you are looking for is a wireless bridge or gaming adapter.

Here is one I found on Amazon. This one only has a single port, so you would need a LAN switch in addition. I found a four port one for $80 on Amazon, but you might be better getting an 8-port switch and the linked device for about the same price. That way you can have more than one or four devices.

Good luck!
