wi-fi receiver whatchmacallit

Esteemed PC-Tech listers:

What is the name for a device that *receives* a wi-fi internet signal and
uses an ethernet cable that connects to a PC? I'm pretty sure I've seen
this before, but am unable to remember enough to set up a search for one.
And product recommendations are welcome as well.

I have an Ubuntu box that I have given up trying to get a wireless card to
work in. I know the ethernet port works, but the Ubuntu box will be in a
room in my house that I cannot easily wire with ethernet.

TIA,
Dan
