I want to connect a Blu-ray player to my network for internet access. I have an Airport Extreme and want to use an Express as my "bridge". Has anyone done this successfully? I called Apple tech support and was told it "could" work, but might need an ethernet switcher connected to the Express. Again, anyone have this set-up? Thanks.
Airport Express as a wireless bridge with Blu-ray?

Having problems getting a Lynksis WGA600N to connect my directv H21 to the internet/network. I'm thinking setting up the Express would be easier as the router is a Time Capsule.
once I set up the AX as an ethernet bridge or WDS. when I connect the H21 set top box to the eithernet port on the AX, and the STB askes if I am setting up as wired or wireless, what should I do?
I other words, will the ethernet port on the AX simply be recognized as a hard wired eithernet port?
I'd be interested to know how you set up the ps3, as I'd be using it for a similar use, streaming HD video.

I'd also note: I've been getting LOADS of help at the DBSTalk forum, but no one there is using an Airport Extreme much less the Express as a bridge.
one direction I've recieved is to open ports on my router for the STB services. ie port forwarding But the directions are not for Apple......and the TimeCapsule/Extreme, seems to only offer certain ports???
bottom line is the guys helping me there are all PC people

Blu-ray Wireless Connection
The devices needed for wireless connection of Blu-ray players are called by many names including wireless bridge, wireless game controller, wireless access point, and AP client. Even their prices vary all over since it is hard to compare them. I ended up creating a page at http://www.rayinblu.com/blu-ray-wireless that lists all the Blu-ray wireless connection options available and their pricing. Hope this helps.
