Ok people bought myself a new WD Live TV Hub and I want to link it to the internet and PC. At present I have a PS3 connected to my netgear powerline plug and what am hoping to do is connect the powerline plug into my no longer used netgear DG834GT router then feed both the PS3 and WD Hub from it. Is this possible, and if so what all do I need to set on the router ie. bridge mode etc ? Cheers
 
Maybe I should have said at the other end of the homeplug / powerline it connects to my modem / router and into my PC, kinda thought this goes without saying. Is it just a case of connecting it up as mentioned above as to use the netgear router to let me connect two items via the other powerline adaptor ? Cheers
 
You can do this yes. Make sure you disable the DHCP server on the DG834GT first though. Also make sure it has an IP assigned to it that is not in use on your network at the moment. Once you've done those two things then it will indeed simply function as a switch, and a wireless AP if you leave wireless on.
