do wireless hubs exist?

[Gumbico]

Say I have some appliances (HDTVs, BD players) spread throughout the house with only RJ45 jacks with no wifi or support for USB wifi dongles. Are there hubs that I can stick near these devices that will grab an IP off my wireless router and then pass the connection through ports physically wired to these non-wifi devices? Trying to do searches on this thing only yields a bunch of wireless USB hub crap.

I'm too lazy to run cable throughout the house and too cheap to purchase equipment with built-in wifi. =]

Yes they are called wireless bridges. Newegg has plenty models in stock.

With more than a couple of devices, it will cost more to go wifi than to just wire the house.

Every wireless device is essentially a hub, but what you are looking for is called a bridge

Thanks all, Newegg had them lumped in with WAPs so I wasn't sure if I was looking at the correct stuff. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
