Wireless Router Advice Please

Hello everyone,

At present we have one desktop and three laptops ( all running XP ) on a Home Network with cable broadband.
The set up is a bit complicated but will try to explain in as few words as possible.

The desktop is located in a recording studio which is a separate building next to house in garden. Cable router is here too. Cables run from here to a hub in house.
Three laptops in house connecting to the hub.
We want to add wireless to the set up but keep the cable facility as one of the laptops does not have a wireless card.

The plan is to replace the hub (in house) with a wireless router so that any laptop in house would have access to it. This wireless router would need to have cable connections too for the other laptop. If the desktop in studio was also able to receive from the house, so much the better, but a connection would still be available from the cable router if necessary.
Is this the best set up since we need both wireless and cable in the house?

I`ve done a bit of research and found the wireless router below which seems to have all I need.
Do you think this set up would work or do you have any other suggestions?
Also is this router the one I want or do you know if there is a better one available bearing in mind I am in the UK?

Sorry this is so long.
All suggestions most gratefully received.
Thank you very much
