| 789027 | 2009-07-05 04:08:00 | Well the PS3 doesn't support Wireless N so.. Maybe 2 WL-520GU routers, one that will repeat the signal? Since there's so many walls |

Since there's so many walls Oh ok, that will narrow down the search a fair bit. I don't think I would get two routers - too complicated and cluttered for my liking. My house isn't huge, I just don't have any experience with wireless internet so I don't know what to expect. I hear all these stories about people stealing internet from their neighbours, so I would like to think that most decent routers would be capable of at least filling my house with wireless internet let alone going into my neighbour's houses. I've heard that Linksys WRT54GL is a good one, anyone have any experience with it? I would also appreciate any other router suggestions/experiences you guys can provide :) |

| 789029 | 2009-07-05 04:39:00 | Umm well if you have a adsl modem its not wireless internet. The wireless modem / router is wireless. And if you want the PS3 to get on the net (since it uses wireless), you need a wireless modem / router. All you're doing is configuring the PS3's wireless to connect to the modem to get it on the net Youre not changing anything, but enabling wireless on the modem (once you get one). So the PS3 can get on the net. All you have to do, is make sure its encrypted so noone else can steal / use your bandwidth |

| 789031 | 2009-07-05 04:54:00 | My post is addressing your prob. Getting the PS3 on the net. You need a wireless modem/router if you want wireless. otherwise you'll be using ethernet. I'm just using a Dlink G604T. Only cost me $135 when I brought it. Havent really used the wireless. So, cant tell you how good or bad it is | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Since there's so many walls When you say doesn't support, do you mean it doesn't support the features Wireless N has over G, or that the PS3 is incompatible with a Wireless N signal and would not be able to connect to a Wireless N modem? |

| 789033 | 2009-07-05 05:10:00 | PS3 supports B and G, not N. You could still buy an N router, but since the PS3 doesnt have it, you wont get N speeds (only B or G speeds). | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
