Network Bridge

does creating a network bridge on my computer allow me to connect another LAN cable into a second device straight from my computer?

because i want to connect my LAN cable into my PS3, but the cable is too short to reach the PS3. so i wanted to have it so the internet connection goes from my computer into the PS3.

if thats correct, what component would i need to make it happen?

thats a switch which multiplies the connection ports on your router..

yea i know i can connect it wirelessly, and it is. but the problem is that the wireless is very unstable and i cant move my router any closer. i get about 50% signal strength on average and it disconnects every now and then

You would need to turn the machine into a router which is extremely dangerous for security. So the easiest option would be to get a longer cable in this situation. Hope this helps.
