Default Belkin gaming adapter F5D7330 as bridge

I have just bought the above device with the intention of connecting a switch to it and thereby connecting two Macs to my wireless router which is located on a different floor in my home. With this setup only one of the Macs at a time is able to access the network. Does anyone know if I can use the device as a normal bridge or if it will only support one device? Belkin have excelled themselves in their reply top my support query. They say that 'logically it should work'!

There was an earlier post from 2005 but it related to flash version 1, my device is on version 2.

Thanks

No reason was given by Belkin except that "it doesn't support more than 1 device". I suspect it can but they don't want people to do it.

Thanks for your reply. I want to connect the 7330 wirelessly to my ADSL modem/router (as a bridge) and then connect a switch (via Ethernet cable) which would allow me network access to 2 Macs which have no wireless capability. I hope this makes sense!
