Can I connect a Wired router to a wireless router?
Just had Verizon DSL installed with a wireless router they provided. They connected two PCs(wired) to it and a laptop with the wireless. I would like to connect a TV, Blu Ray player, Xbox 360 and my Wii to it with a wired connection and am not sure what I need. I know I need to run a ethernet cable from one of the unused LAN connections on the wireless router in my basement up to the livingroom but not sure what I need after that, a hub, wired router or something else?

i'd get a hub.. a wired router could work, but you might have to tinker with the configuration since that would be two routers with two firewalls and other issues having two routers chained... so it might take some work..

Not a hub, a switch. Make sure the switch can run different speeds on each port, some cheap ones downgrade to the lowest speed.
