I do agree that this would be the simplest solution though, and give some flexibility later if you wanted to relocate the wireless later. If you do go this route, I would get an 8 port switch, even if you only need 3 right now. The cost difference is fairly minimal and you never know when you will want to add an extra device, even temporarily.
$30 for an Asus switch and $49 for a DLink AP. I guess if you're in the habit of buying $59 routers, it's a bit more, but have fun with the $59 router.
