If you've already got a router on your network that takes care of handing out IP addresses, routing traffic, etc. then you'll just want a switch. Two routers on the same network will cause all sorts of headaches for you and isn't really necessary.

Edit: Something like this will do the trick:

Slingbox, Apple TV, whatever else goes into the switch. Your existing ethernet cable goes back to the existing router. No configuration necessary - just plug it in.
