I believe I need a wireless access point, but can I do it with a wifi router?

wireless-networking
My needs are simple, I think:
I have a laptop upstairs with a usb wifi that I use to connect to my neighbor's wifi which I share (with their knowledge). I have a laser printer downstairs that my wife doesn't wants to stay down there (big, bulky and ugly), but that we both need to print stuff off. It has wired networking and I have wired hub and router down there.
The usb wifi on the laptop has absolutley the best reception I've ever seen or heard of. I cannot get onto the neighbor's net with the thing downstairs though--sortof in the ground. What do I need downstairs to give printer access to my laptop wirelessly?
One thing I can't do in this solution is have a computer on downstairs, so I would think that would eliminate a usb solution.
