I'm having Dish Network installed tomorrow at my house. My receiver has to "call home" every day or I'll get charged $5/month extra for the equipment. I can apparently do this over phone or ethernet, but I don't have home phone service. I do have cable Internet, but I only have wireless access to it (except in the garage).

Right now, I'm using one of these to get my XBox 360 online wirelessly.

Would it be possible to use this as the input for a wired router and then connect both the satellite receiver and 360 to the router?

If not, then I have a totally unrelated question. Is there a list somewhere of wireless routers that work with the WDS settings on the Airport Express? If so, could I use one of those to receive the wireless signal from my express and then hook both devices into it?

I know I could get another wireless game adapter, but those run about $50 minimum on eBay, but I could get a second router for under $20. I'm just trying to do this as cheaply as possible (to appease the wife, of course).
