If you happen to have an extra Netgear WGT624 laying about, there is a way to make it into an ethernet bridge or a client. I hooked my 622 up this way with only a little tinkering and google searching.
Might work on other wireless routers as well.
Of course, i'm just that geeky to have more than one sitting around!
Forgive me if I'm missing something but if I sling a movie from the den to the bedroom what does my DSL modem have to do with it? This implies that the data stream goes from the sling box/922, through the router, through the modem to Denver then back trough the modem, back through the router then into the bedroom. This isn't the way Sling media told me it worked when I sling around my house. They flatly said an internet connection isn't needed for slinging within a network.
My point was that in the future it might be better to have your receiver directly connected to the wired network than to wireless (read: slower, less reliable, and less secure). I might someday be watching a show on my upstairs 622 that was recorded to my downstairs 622, I would want the fastest connection I could get. If it were wireless, someone else in the house could download OS updates or heavy-duty content that would affect my wireless bandwidth.

I agree on this. I was just responding to what I see as a repeated misunderstanding of sling technology as it can be used around the house.
