Use a wireless hub with a switch?

I have the following products for my home network:

DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router
DWL-G820 Rev. B Adapter Hub
DGS-2208 8-port Desktop Switch

I am currently using the DWL-G820 to provide ethernet connectivity to my Sony Playstation 3. I am planning to add two more devices that require Ethernet connectivity in the same area. Is it possible to use the DWL-G820 with a switch similar to the DGS-2208 in order to provide connection to more than one device from the DWL-G820? If not, will I have to buy two more DWL-G820 hubs in order to have connectivity in the area?

Essentially, I'd like to have connectivity to my PS3, XBOX 360 and TV without having to run a cord down the wall from the router that is upstairs. I also do not want to switch cords in and out to get online with the devices.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
Instead of the DWL-G820 get a wireless bridge. Plug that into your switch and you can then plug in the devices you listed.
