The "wireless router" is, in fact, an Access Point and other stuff. The AP creates a wireless network. You have this now.

The other end of a wireless network is the client. if you want to create a second network with more than one user at the far end, you need a wireless bridge.

Either a Linksys WET-11 or a similar device from another vendor, feeding a network switch,

or a Linksys WRT-54G with DD-WRT firmware configured as a client bridge.

The WET 11 / switch is pretty much plug this into that and go. The WRT-54G with DD-WRT requires a bit of study and minor technical skills.

Could the WET 11 plug into a wireless router?

Yes, the WET 11 can be plugged into the WAN port or LAN ports of a wireless router.

LAN port of a wireless router has a firewall between it and the AP & LAN ports. Plugging into a LAN port bypasses the firewall.
