What you probably could use is a "travel router". Some of these (not
all) are designed to connect to a network via wireless, and distribute
the single IP address to multiple computers via NAT.

I know the WTR54GS will work (because I sorta have one), but all of
the other travel routers I found will NOT.

(dialup only)

You'll also need a small 4 port ethernet switch as most of these only
have a single ethernet port on the travel router.

Another way to do this is with a client radio (wireless ethernet
bridge) and any olde ethernet or wireless router. For a list of
possible bridge candidates, see the FAQ at:
<http://wireless.wikia.com/wiki/Wi-Fi#Wireless_Ethernet_Bridges>
Literally any router with NAT will work for the router part.
