Is this feasible?

I have a Belkin N Wireless Router Model F5D8233. The manual states that it can be set up as an Access Point but I don't think that is what I want it to do. I want to connect a FyreTV beta box to my wireless network. The FyreTV box doesn't have wireless capability, just the cat5 jack. I know I can resolve this with a wireless game adapter. Before I make that purchase though, I was just wondering if this router could be set up as such.
 
It would be theoretically possible, assuming you have another wireless router connected to your Internet connection, and both of them are smart enough to work in "Bridge" mode - but I'm not sure home routers typically are... and based on a quick look at the user manual for that router, it doesn't appear that it is.
 
Our DSL modem is a wireless unit, hence we no longer need the Belkin to establish our wireless network. I guess I'll need to get a WGA unless anyone knows of any third party firmware for this router that can accomplish this.
