Ouch! Yes. Very costly. I understand this is a "would like" project. However, a well planned out home network could save $100's.
This is just a access point, and cost more than my favorite wireless router.

Upgrading with this one allows you to maintain your wired connections, and to go wireless with the new set-ups. Allows hardwire print sharing.

Here is the cheapest wired-wireless USR router. Allows 4 wired connections.

I'm sure there are cost effective brands out there, but I'm a USR guy.
ONE MORE IMPORTANT TOPIC:
Frequency, it's all about the freq! Check all of your household items. Cordless phone, cell phone, microwave, TV remote, satellite etc. Somebody somewhere made the stoooopidest mistake known to wireless mankind. The real reason I have a wired network is:
My cordless phone runs on the 2400 channel.
My satellite "wireless" runs on the 2450 channel.
My microwave is LOS from where the router is to the upstairs loft.
All 3 of the above would be "DIRECT" interference with a 2400 channel wireless network.
