Is there a device that can pick the router wireless signal and allow LAN connection between two computers by itself?
I want to use Steam In-Home streaming without having a large Ethernet cable throughout my home just to connect two computers together in my bedroom.
The Router is D-Link ADSL2/2 and the WiFi speed is abysmal for streaming, if the "receiver" allows LAN traffic between both devices it will work perfectly.
To simplify the concept take a look at the following sketch.

been ages, but i believe you are looking for a device called a wireless bridge.
many routers on the market have an option to act as one.
you can also call the router manufacturer and check with them about the model you buy, or check the manual.
an issue is it may need to be the same model router.. and a router-modem without bridge mode might not have able to see the other router. When you look at routers with more features it is quite common for them to not include modems.
