What to use

Ok, I am not the best in the world when it comes to setting up networks, but I have a problem and I need a solution. I have an airvana femtocell from sprint to connect to the internet at our lake house, it has a gps puck that has to be put in a window. Our router sits in the middle of the house a good distance from any window. My question is, what sort of box do I need to connect to the wireless signal from the netgear WGR641 router and convert it to Cat5? I thought a bridge was what I needed, but after reading a bit more I don't think so. It seems what I am looking for is basically a reverse wireless access point.

Even if it's a hassle, I'd run CAT 5 from it to the router.
