Wifi receiver with a ethernet port?

So we have DSL & the modem/router combo is upstairs & we have a VoIP service, but the phone is downstairs. Is their a way we can receive wifi down stairs & the device would let us plug in with ethernet?

Use powerline adapters, more reliable.

Powerline is definitely an option worth exploring. Unless you're really unlucky with your wiring they'll normally be a better bet than wireless for fixed equipment.

If you want to use wireless then any router that has a client mode should work. The TP-Link TL-WR702N 'Nano' router is a neat device if you can live with its slight limitations.

Well we have a Apple airport, but the ethernet ports don't work when it is just extending a wireless network.
