Do you know of any?

I am interested in TP Link products or this ( http://www.intel.it/content/www/it/it/wireless-products/centrino-wireless-n-2200-desktop.html) one, but I think they are not access points, while I think I read about some adapter with access point built in feature.

That was what I expected. Then you really don't need to buy anything.

In Windows 7 you can set up a virtual wifi miniport that allows your PC to use it's wireless radio to have two separate wireless networks on one wireless adapter. Then you set up the virtual miniport as ad hoc (making it an AP) and share your wired Internet with the wireless access point that you have created. Using the virtual miniport you still have your wireless adapter for whatever other uses that you wish.

HERE is one of many tutorials available on how to do it step by step.

Well, I have a desktop connected through ethernet. I want to connect a mobile device without purchasing a wireless router. And at the same time a wireless card for my pc, it can always be needed. (Windows 7.)
