Wireless Bridge to Connect Multiple Devices

Hi everyone! Quick networking question:

I have a DGL-3420 acting as a wireless bridge to connect my Xbox 360. I just got a new Dish Network receiver, a ViP722, and I'd like to hook it up as well.

Instead of purchasing another wireless bridge, I was wondering if I could just plug the receiver and my 360 into a switch, then connect the DGL-3420 into it as well (via a crossover cable, I would think).

Will this work?

    So long as the 360 and the DVR can use the wireless bridge as a gateway, you should be set. I don't think a crossover cable would work, though--switching usually takes care of putting the TX into the RX of the other side.

    Putting the wireless bridge on the WAN port of a router should work too.
