I am living in a hotel with free WI FI. I want to watch Netflix and Hulu Plus on the Sony wired Blue Ray Player. I have a 54G wireless router. Can I piggyback the WI FI signal via the Wireless Router to the Ethernet Connection on the Router to the Blue Ray Player? If so how can this be accomplished?
 
depends on the model of the router. some have the option of working in "bridge" mode, which will basically make it work in reverse, receiving a WiFi signal and sending it out one of the ports. see the documentation for your router.

if it doesn't support bridge mode, you may be able to make it work with DD-WRT firmware, if it supports it. Look up DD-WRT in google for more info.

Hope that helps,
Jason
