722 hooked to broad band connection wirelessely

[kennya]

Is it possible to hook up my 722 through my wireless router? Was mentioned in another thread that someone was trying, so I am wondering if it is possible.

I apologize if there is already another thread, I did a quick search and came up with nothing. :up

A couple of ways... run a cable to the router. Setup a wireless bridge. Or buy a simple homeplug adapter and the 722 will connect via the powerlines in the home. Search for HomePlug.

Was just looking at the home plugs. Question on them, would I need two of them, one at the router and one at the 722?

The 722 already has one inside.

Gotchya. So would you go that route or the wireless bridge? Is their advantages or disadvanteges to either?

Get the Homeplug. Easy to setup and reliable.

Read the thread that has the title of something like "built in Homeplug in 622 - how cool is that?" Lots of good info.

This will allow the 722/622 to "phone home" so you don't need to be connected to a phone line. It will also allow you to use the upcoming DishOnline features and the new Dish on Demand video service.

Will the homeplug in the 722 receiver respond properly while attached to a surge surpressor?

With a Homeplug approved one? Yes. Or try a cheap one without EMI/RF filtering.

Read that thread dedicated to hOMEpLUG and get whole picture of using it first, then proceed with your question.

Or if you are out of ports on your router + Hub. You can use one of these

Newegg.com - LINKSYS WGA54G IEEE 802.11b, draft 802.11g Ethernet Port Wireless-G Game Adapter Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128-Bit WEP - Retail

I personally have every room wired to a switch panel then out to my hub and router. With that though I am out of network connections. (I could put on another hub or larger one, but I am already sick of running more cables)

So I set up 2 of these and have been happy since

I have been reading all the threads I could get my hands on and did not seem to find if the phone homeplug would work with fios or not, that is why I asked. All I want to do is save the $5 monthly fee for not having a phone line/network hooked up. I would rather hook up to the phone and not through my home network.

I have three 722s hooked up to phone connection for the on screen caller ID. Two 722s are hooked up to the Internet with CAT5e cable thru several Links switches to a Links WRT54GS Wireless router. The third 722 is connected to a Links WET54G Wireless Bridge. Everything works great.
