How to use a Netgear WGT614 V7 as a wireless ethernet bridge.
While building my HTMac I decided to try and turn my old Netgear WGT614 V7 into a wireless ethernet bridge. I didn't want to have to pay for the Mini Airport adapter and I couldn't find a suitable USB adapter. After gogling around I finally found a reference that Version 7 of the WGT614 wireless router was very different from the other version. There appears to be no working version of DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.. that works with this version. I hate to give up so I kept googling. It appears that the V7 model use an Atheros chipset. I also found out that the cousin Netgear WGT624 router also usese an Ahteros chipset. So now I googled for WGT624 and client mode and found BeatJunkie's most excellent guide on how to turn a Netgear WGT624 into client, repeater, bridge. I followed his steps and bammo... Now I have a ethernet bridge that cam be used for my HTMac and XBox.
