I have AT&T dsl. ( 
i know)
I have some crappy Westell router/modem combo.
Also have a Netgear WGR614.
Can I connect the netgear to the router/modem combo so that the Netgear is sending out signal as well? If so would I connect it through another Ethernet cord?

you have to set the combo into bridge mode so that it turns off the router function and acts only as a modem.
also, some combos (i have the SMC SMC3dgn that i tried to do that on) that won't let you do it because they're super fricking shitty.

Thanks.
Might sound stupid, but should I even do this?
The Netgear just looks so much simpler to deal with, and I could get it a bit closer to my room

yeah, usually those combo units are pieces of shite that transmit a terrible signal.

Well i plugged it in to see if it worked, and it did, so now i have it right next to my PS3 
Hopefully I won't get BSed as much.
Thanks for the help man!
