I was wondering if it would be possible to (With the right hardware) Buy/Make a device that connects to a Wi-Fi network wirelessly and makes a new network but sends all data through the one it's connected to. I know there A: is a speed and latency hit and B:Windows already has this. But I wondered if a Device exists that can do this by being small and (relatively) Cheap. Thanks for any info you can give me :)

You just described a WiFi-repeater/WiFi-router/most WiFi-access points.

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

There are multiple devices that do this. Wireless Range Extenders work in exactly this way and you can also get Wireless Bridges and Extenders.
