 Go see if your version is support here:

If your WRT54G is supported then you can flash the WRT54G with the dd-wrt
firmware.  Once flashed you can have your router be a wireless bridge to the
other wireless network.  There are some other steps that I am leaving out
because I do not remember them all as it has been months since I setup
something like this.
