Help with home networking problem

Here is the situation I have in my house, I have a wireless router (Dlink gaming router) connected upstairs with my internet connection and computer. In my Home theater (downstairs) I have my xbox and dvd player which i want to connect to my network, but they are not wireless.

Is there any way of utilizing another witeless router to connect onto the existing network? I thought about using a wireless bridge, but they only have 1 ethernet port on them, and I need more than 1.

Thanks for the help
 
wireless bridge->switch

if you use a wireless router, you are just using it as a bridge with an integrated switch. I think some of the WRT's can be used as a bridge, as well as maybe some buffalo ones, but they both require flashing to third party firmware.
 
So any wireless bridge to any wired switch will do? Any recommendations on a good model of each? Thanks again for the all the help, i really appreciate it 🙂
