I am trying to extend the wireless network in an old church (parts were built in the 1850's) to a small "lab" for kids that has 5 pc's. The only connection available for internet is via wireless and this may be further complicated in that between the router that is broadcasting the wireless signal and the "lab" is an Engenius Wireless N range extender which does get enough signal to the "lab". I could put wireless adapters on all the pc's but it would be cheaper and easier for the coordinator to manage if I could wire all the lab pc's to a switch and then connect the switch to the wireless but I dont know how to do this. I have always gone from wired things out to Access Points now i need to reverse engineer that. Thanks in advance!

Consider bridging routers.
Google "how to bridge two wireless routers for a single network" and then select images.
And you can, of course, modify the search criteria to customize the end results to your environment.
Some examples:

However, I would be somewhat concerned about the bandwidth and end performance.
Especially with the extender in the middle between the routers.
Take a look and see bridging appears viable.
