So...I've ordered a VU+ Solo and am now thinking of how to connect it to my wi fi. I'm thinking of buying these ethernet bridge devices;

Sorry it's in French but I'm certain you can see if they're suitable. I understand that you merely connect from the spare ethernet port on the Livebox to the bridge and then from the remote bridge, via another ethernet lead to the VU+. Is it really that simple or will I have either input the Livebox address into the VU+ or something more complex? Or, (as I hope) will it all work 'from the box'?
Sorry for relative newbie questions but this will be my first foray into Linux STB's.
