Damn (geekery ahead)
I have TWO, count’m, TWO wireless routers -besides- the one I’m using, and neither of them are currently supported by the totally awesome open source DD-WRT.
That’s the open-source firmware that would let me turn one of them into a wireless RECEIVER for my lovely new 360, which doesn’t come with one.
This would save me having to run a cable directly across the room whenever I use it.
Alas. Kind of sad how devices are built these days – so proprietary that you can’t experiment. These netgears have all the components to be a wireless receiver, but they didn’t add that functionality. Gr.
I could, of course, switch back to the netgear and flash my linksys, but I *LIKE* my linksys!
They don’t support WDS?
While it’s primary use is to let access points act as repeaters, they should bridge traffic to the local Ethernet.
Sadly, no. I have two WRG614 v6 ‘s, and these are the only netgears that use WDS:

er, your 360 doesn’t get wireless? I thought that was standard?
Isn’t standard. Standard on PS3, standard on Wii. $100 option on 360.
The hell??? Why was I thinking of getting one again?
Heh, the ethernet thing is fine, it’d be better if my computer and my TV were on the same side of the room.
