Randy,
The thing to note in id10t's post is that you have to configure it as an access point. You have to disable the DHCP server and plug the wire into one of the regular ports, not the "internet" connection.
In the Wifi setup area, you can setup the wireless SSID and password to be exactly the same as your existing router. Either set the channels to auto or make sure they are different on the 2 routers.
If your laptop is "n", you might want to buy a couple of cheap "n" routers. The Linksys E2000 is pretty good and you can get refurbished ones off Amazon for about $59.
