Hi TTG, i want to know if its possible to setup my netgear DG834G as a ethernet switch using the internet connection from my netbook (wireless adapter bridge to LAN adapter) and plug the shared connection from the LAN port into a ethernet on the netgear and use it as a wireless hub for mine and my bro's xbox, im using my neighbors wifi and can connect to it via my netbook wifi adapter and have been sharing the connection via ethernet to my brothers xbox but i'd rather be able to do it wirelessly, thanks in advanced

i can't find anything for custom firmware on the netgear DG834G v3 hub or my netgear DGN1000 can anyone else help out? the easiest way of explaining what i want to achieve is sharing the internet connection from my wifi adapter to my netbook ethernet port and then configure/setup either one of the two netgear routers to accept the internet connection from the netbook via one of the ethernet ports on the routers rather than the adsl phone line
