Complicated Networking- - PLEASE HELP

I am a college student that recently moved into a new house. Here is my problem, I have three wired devices in one room that are currently unable to access the internet. A PS3, 360, and vista PC. They are all wired because in my previous home the coax connecting was in the same room. I have a wireless router set up on the first floor and am unable to run a cable to the top floor. Is there any networking device that can receive the wireless signal from the router on the first floor and then possibly hook up a switch to that device and wire the PS3, 360 and pc to it?

I had been looking into using a WAP to receive the signal and a switch to connect to the WAP. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance.

You probably need a wireless network bridge, which should do the trick.
