If you are being provided wireless access to the Internet and want to
connect to it from devices on your local *wired* LAN, then it sounds
like you need a router that can work in client mode. Not all wireless
routers can do this.

Any of your devices with built in wireless capability can simply
connect directly to your landlord's router. However, if you need them
to simultaneously connect to the Internet and other devices on you
local LAN, then you may need to add your own wireless router or access
point in addition to the client mode router.
