Blu Ray?

I bought a Sony BDP N460 Blu Ray player.  I am trying to get it hooked up to my wireless network.  It says I need a wireless hub or something like that.  Netgear says I can use my WRN3500L router as a hub but they are taking way to damn long to reply!

How can I set it up?  I am not the greatest with networking etc so if someone can use easy to understand lingo or step by step directions I would appriciate it!

Here is an article on setting up the WGR614L as a wireless bridge.

The WNR3500 is setup the same way.

If you are using the WNR3500 as a regular router then you need to get something like the WNHDE111 Wireless-N Bridge.

So if I buy something like the Cisco Linksys Gual Band adapter, all I have to do it configure it to see the wireless and run an ethernet cable from the adapter to my blu ray?
