I guess that you just want a plain ole wireless AP then?  If you already 
have a router, you just need a wireless access point.  You can keep the 
old router.

I quite linksys kit (you'll hear lots of people slag of or big up pretty 
much any brand).  So this should do:

If you need a router as well, then something like this:

Or you could buy a USB/PCIMIA card for the wireless.  I would research 
that more carefully as that sort of thing can be tricky on linux.
