Hook up Magic Jack Plus to WiFi without a PC?

The Magic Jack Plus has an ethernet wire to connect to a router. However, I am going to a building which has WiFi but not cable. So a wifi enabled pc or laptop can access the Internet. I want to know what device I would need to receive the WiFi signal and output ethernet data, so that the Magic Jack Plus would function. Also, if you have a specific brand of this device to recommend, it would be appreciated.

Update:

The phone will have multiple users and I do not want them to have access to my laptop.

    Any device with only Ethernet can use a wireless network with a wireless bridge. These used to be called wireless game adapters. They basically establish a connection to the AP or router over WiFi and connect to your device with Ethernet.

    But if you have a computer there anyway, why not just connect the Magic Jack to the computer via USB? The original Magic Jack did that I would imagine you can still do it with the new one.
