Configuring a Media Network

All,

My goal:
Store and stream all of our media (pictures, movies including HD, and music) from our newly purchased HP MediaSmart EX487 to our living room. Our HDTV is hooked up to a DirecTV HR20 DVR and a PS3. Both are UPnP media players, however I plan on using mostly just the PS3 for our media. The HR20 requires high-speed WiFi for on-demand. The internal wireless for the PS3 is only 11g. The HR20 is wired only. They are both within the same cabinet.

I also purchased a Linksys WRT610N Wireless-N router (turned my old WRT54GX2 into a WAP for all 11g traffic).

So, what is the best way to get 11n to both?

- Get two Linksys WGA600N Wireless N Gaming Adapters, one for each?
- Get one Linksys WGA600N Wireless N Gaming Adapter and feed it to a switch (e.g., Linksys EG005W)...is this even possible?
- Other?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Newbie

I should also mention that the WRT610N wireless router is in our office (on the same floor, about 25 feet from the HR20 and PS3).

Thanks
