Is that possible?

For the moment I´m sharing a ADSL connection with the WGR614 router to tree computers, one with wire and two wirelessly. I now need to setup another network with two wired computers in a remote area and have access to the ADSL connection. Can the WL-500g solve the problem to bridge the two networks together wirelessly?

WL-500g can do wirless brige thanks to WDS feature, but the WGR-614 doesn't support this protocol, so you can't do a wireless bridge between this two router.

If you don't want to change your hardware, you're only solution is to link the two devices by a cable.
If you have some money you can buy another WL500g (try deluxe version :p) or any other AP that support WDS too.

By the way, for owning a WGR614v5 before my wl500gx, I can assure you that this router is really a piece of crap, and I suggest you to share your Internet connection with the wl500g instead.
