I have a device called a wireless bridge from Buffalo Communications. It is designed to deliver one or more wired Ethernet connections (mine has four) from a WiFi network. I used it to hook up a PC that was incapable of having a WiFi card installed to my wireless network (it was billed as being good for relatively dumb devices like printers and video game consoles). I suspect with the advances in WiFi technology, there aren't many new ones being made but it wouldn't hurt to check.

You would then a)register the wireless bridge with your provider as your sole WiFi device, b) hook up your WiFi router via cable to the bridge, and c) connect your devices via WiFi or cable only to the router.

I don't know if you would get into trouble with your provider by doing this, but what they don't know won't hurt them, right?
