Netgear WGE101 wireless bridge and a switch?

[philg]

Hi folks

Quick question (and apologies for the geeky nature...)

I have a Netgear WGE101 wireless bridge linking a PVR back to the rest of the network in my house.

Now I may have a need for a second network device alongside the PVR and I was wondering if I could connect a network switch to the WGE101 to give me some more ports? The WGE101 only has one

Thanks

hehe... no worries...

short answer I know, but it will work no problem,

I would assume that your broadband router will allocate IP addresses to all devices on the network (via DHCP) so it will work straight away no probablem. If you have no DHCP device on the network you will have to manually assign a IP address to the new device but it will still work no problem once thats done.

My PVR doesn't support DHCP so that has a hard coded IP address (as does the bridge so I know where it is!) but other divces I woudl expect to be DHCP compliant so I'm cool
