Question about using a wireless connection to connect wired devices

So I have a wireless router connected to my cable modem.  This provides my wireless network for the house.  What I need is a wireless connection for my Blue Ray player (it's an older sony).  So I tried using another wireless router to connect to the EXISTING network, but couldn't get it going.

 

So what is it I need that I can configure to connect to the Wireless network to provide a wired access point for my Blue Ray player?  Again, there is to be no wired connection between my existing wireless router and the new switch that I will be placing  in another area of my home...

 

Thank you for the help in advance!

  • If your Blu-Ray player has an Ethernet port, then the Netgear WNCE3001 should work. A range extender will also work.
