can you use a Netgear HR314 router as a bridge? I have an Actiontec DSl/Wireless modem?

by DSLModem on May 16, 2010

As I said, I have = an Actiontec GT701-WG (Wireless Gateway GT) modem. My computer is upstairs in my house, and I am hoping to connect my PS2 to the Internet through a router Netgear HR314. My PS2 is sitting downstairs in my house and I wonder if I can do so only with a router, or if I have to buy a bridge to the router and everything.

A router by definition will not do what you are wanting. I highly recommend the Linksys 802.11g bridge or the Motorola 802.11g bridge.
Both of these devices work by taking the wireless signal your router produces and convert that into ethernet for your PS2 or any other device.
Both bridges come with a CD-ROM to help you set them up for your network.
