I would like to get a TiVo Mini, but bafflingly it does not seem to support WiFi. I don't have cable or ethernet in the room I wish to use it in, and it seems like it must be on the same subnet as the TiVo or I could possibly use a wireless extender. Is there any device that will let me connect to my WiFi and provide a bridge to connect to the Mini's ethernet port so that it would be on the same subnet as my TiVo?

Most Access Points are suitable for you!
Just configure them as "Client", and connect the AP to the device with a crossover cable.
Example with linksys: Linksys KB

What you are looking for is a Wireless Bridge.
A device such as this Netgear connects as a client to your existing Wireless Adapter and acts as a bridge to the ethernet cabled device. There are a lot of different makes and models and some are called wireless game adapters for consoles that only had ethernet such as the earlier Xbox 360s.
