Connecting a router to an access point WIRELESSLY?

I am running wireless internet from one end of the house and I need a wired connection in the other end. How can I set up a router in the other end to receive the wireless internet signal from my wireless access point and serve the plugged-in computer at that end?

Thank you.

I need something to receive the signal from the access point that is already working and have as an output a wired ethernet port, preferably 3 or 4 of them to plug computers into. There is already wireless signal in that part of the house, I just need to turn it back into a wired connection.

There are client devices like the Linksys WET54G, but it has only one ethernet port. You may be able to out a switch on this.
There are some other third-party devices on Ebay that may do the same, and some have 2 or 4 ports. You basically need a "AP client" device.

Theoretically, up to 255 Wi-Fi clients, but practically much less. Just think that the bandwidth available is divided between the clients therefore at some point it becomes virtually impractical to connect. That is, if you want wireless access to internet. Just for having a LAN, it's still ok to have 255 clients. You can also limit the number of connections from the router settings.

You can't use an access point for this. You need a wireless range extender.
