Cheap Wireless Router?
Looking to buy one, preferably online or a good high street price, preferably with a bundled wireless card, but will consider good ones without network card. Any experiences and links welcome! Thanks

Re: Cheap Wireless Router?
Couldn't tell you, but if the PS2 has a standard Ethernet RJ45 port then I don't see why not (check 1st though!)

Yep.

The Linksys wireless routers have 4 normal wired ethernet ports, so you can plug the PS2 into one of those. Or, you can also get a "wireless bridge" as well as a wireless router, plug the bridge into the PS2's ethernet port, & then use the PS2 wirelessly.

Go Linksys and get one of these

http://www.linksys.com/international...oid=6&ipid=358

The Wireless-G Game Adapter gives any wired Ethernet-equipped game console wireless connection capabilities. The Game Adapter can be used in two different ways. If you have an existing home wireless network and a cable or DSL Internet connection, the Game Adapter lets your PlayStationÂÂƚ®2, Xboxââ€Å ¾Ã‚¢ or GameCubeââ€à ƒâ€¦Ã‚¾Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¢ attach to the network so you can get into online games without running wires to the game room. Or, use a pair of Game Adapters to form a ""cable-less cable"" between two game consoles for head-to-head gaming -- in the same room, or all the way across the house.

It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform. Since there's no drivers to load, setup is a snap. In some cases, it works right out of the box! If your setup's a little different -- just configure the network settings through your PC's web browser, plug it into your game box, and go.

The Wireless-G Game Adapter provides lag-free gaming with communication speeds up to 54Mbps when connected to other Wireless-G devices. It can also connect to Wireless-B (802.11b) devices and networks at 11Mbps.

Spend your time gaming, not stringing wires, with the Linksys Wireless-G Game Adapter.

Is it me or is there another virtually identical thread around, I just can't find it though
