I have a laptop that doesn't have wifi.  I want to ethernet cable it to a router, then have the router connect to my existing wifi.

What term do I search for?  What feature should the router have?

It's been 15 years since my last network certification, and I can't remember.  Sad

I think that's repeater. Or extender.
Just try a google for: connect router to wifi   Wink
Good luck

Yes, I tried searching for that, all I get is how to extend the wifi signal using a second router.  I don't want the second router to broadcast wifi, I want it to use the existing wifi.

On the 3rd page of results it's this.

The image looks like what you'd need.
If I misunderstood then sorry.

You don't need a router for it per se (a router has a bunch of extra functionality that's not needed for this purpose), an access point suffices.

On the AP that I use, this function is called "client mode".

edit: why not use a USB wifi dongle? Seems like a much simpler solution.
