Wireless - bridge mode or something else?

My problem:

My media center needs the internet, and is very difficult to run wiring to.

What I have:
- 2 devices, could grow to 4, but in general only 1 would be used at a time (xbox, or DishTV broadband via receiver, etc). Currently using very flaky powerline for DishTV and perfectly fine wireless G adapter for xbox

- ASUS RT-N16 - currently serving the house with wireless

- WRT54G - NOT currently in use - If I recall, the revision I have is not upgradeable to alternate firmware, but it's been a long time since I looked

- All clients are currently wireless G or N

My Question:

Can I use the WRT54G somehow as a wired access point for the media center? Is there another piece of technology that will work in the way I want? I'd prefer a single wireless 'client' that I could hardwire everything else to.
