Need to add my new laptop to existing LAN

[ghidu]

I have 3 PCs on LAN (ethernet) and I bought a laptop. I would like to be able to connect it to the network. Can you recommend me a wireless switch/router that could also be connected to ethernet? Thank you.

Thanks InlineFive, is there an access point only device? I don't need a router.

usally wireless routers cost the same or less then most access points. Also it isnt hard to turn most wireless routers into an access point.

Thank you for the link. It's easy enough and because I can't seem to find an access point I'll get a router. Can I get a cheap one since I will not use the router functions?

Well it really depends on how cheap you want to go, if you have a price range in mind i am sure people here could help with suggestions. But i am pretty sure all wireless routers allow you to do the steps mentioned in the above link but it slightly differ.
