No one seems to be speaking up so far...
I did find instructions on how to do what I want with the DD-WRT firmware, and a router with a decent reputation for working with it that I could get from Amazon for $15 or so...
Suggestions would still be welcome though. I've got a couple weeks anyway.

It's possible to set up a windows computer to function as a network bridge as well.

Yeah. I've even done something similar before. But I couldn't do it with my desktop without getting new hardware anyway, and I really don't want to leave my laptop plugged in and running all the freaking time.

That would, in fact, be the exact article I was already looking at.
However, I don't have an old router. In one of the 50* liquor boxes full of stuff that I've already packed up and moved I have my old dsl modem, but I don't think it could actually be made to do the job. Nor am I sure I still have the power adapter for it. Nor do I know *which* of those boxes contains it.
*I counted. Although I may be off by a couple in either direction.
So, I don't really see a path here that doesn't involve buying something, so I'd like to buy something that I've got some reason to think will work fairly well.

It's sounding like dd-wrt is the way to go here, then
