Ok, I read all I could on the board and can not find if anyone was ever successful in getting a linksys wireless connection with the PS2.... Can anyone say if it can be done and if so, how?
Thanks

I don\'t think there\'s a wireless ethercard for the PS2, but most wireless routers still have input for wired connections.  Just pull out that ol\' ethercord, and wire it up.

I\'m fairly certain he means either the use of a USB Wireless adapter or (more likely) the use of a Linksys WET-11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge.

Doesn\'t really seem worth it.  It\'s not THAT hard to use wires... we\'ve been doing it for years :rolleyes:

Apartment.  PC and broadband connection on one end of room (or in another room), PS2 et al near entertainment center, with doors/open space in between any path.  You can either run cable along the wall and door edge (ugly, no matter if you match the cable color to the paint or not) or try for wireless.

Powerline is more expensive, esp. if you\'ve already gotten a WAP for laptop use. powerline = two bridge minimum, if you\'ve got a WAP, wireless = one extra bridge.
