Now that I have the Linksys WGA600N happily hooked up to my HR20 and am downloading VOD content from D*, I'm wondering about how I can easily expand this wireless adapter for other equipment in my AV cabinet. For example, my LCD T.V would like an internet connection along with a new BD player I purchased.

Is there any easy way to expand the number of ethernet jacks (there is only one on the back of the unit, currently connected to the HR-20) so that my other equipment can access the internet using this adapter? I'm looking for a cheap and easy way to go and something that won't turn into a networking nightmare with 2 or 3 devices using the same adapter.

Any input would be appreciated!!

Any inexpensive switch should do the job.

I use a Linksys SD2005 and a D-Link DGS-2205 Gigabit switch, but the Gigabit speed isn't necessary. I just spent the few $$ more to future-proof the network.

This will work fine for what you need it for.
