Best way to get XB + PS2 on a wireless network?

Thread title pretty much says it all. I have a PS2 and Xbox and would like to put both of them on our 802.11g network. They're on the other side of the house from the router, so wired connections won't work. I'd love to have a device with 4 ports that would connect the wired devices to the wireless network, but I'm not sure if such a beast exists. I'm fairly new to the whole wireless thing, so I'm not exactlly sure what the difference is between bridges, access points, repeaters, and so on. Thanks in advance.

i was affraid you'd suggest that, damn thing is £70!

I could cable the enitre house for that, hell then i could sell the wireless router, buy a cheap wired one and probably make myself £20 back.
 
I used that same set up for about a month. But, then somebody in my apartment complex must have bought a 2.4 Ghtz cordless phone because I got connection drops all the time from that point on. I had to switch back to Cat5.
