Wireless to wired router?
I have a wireless network and I want to connect a device that only has an RJ45 jack. No option to make it wireless, and it would be very hard to get a wire to it without drilling holes.... Is there such a thing as a device that would connect to my wireless network, yet have a standard RJ45 jack on it to connect to a wired device?

This will do it

Although it's sold as a print server (and if you want to use it for that, be very careful to check the compatibility list; it's kind of limited in the printers it supports), it also give four ethernet ports.
I'm sure others may have better suggestions, but that one has worked for me flawlessly and it can be found cheap on eBay in the past.
Or currently on Craigslist:

Same idea, but different model...
I use one of these to connect my Slingbox via RJ-45 to my wireless network as a bridge:
