I bought a Mac mini without a wireless card to sit in my basement since I got rid of my pc's. Can either of these be used as an access point to connect wirelessly to my Cisco E3000 upstairs and plug the mini into the Ethernet port to access the internet.

Use the Airport Express, Airport Extreme will be overkill.
