PS2 and DSL routers (1 Viewer)

[Sean Patrick]

I have mindspring DSL and figured instead of getting a dsl router and running wires down two floors to where my PS2 is, I could get a second dsl modem for the second location. Turns out this will only work if i disconecct my upstairs connection (two places can't be logged in under the same login at the same time, says Mindspring)....so then it seems a router is my best bet.

From what i understand a wireless routing system probably won't work with a PS2 (usually you have to have cards installed at the computer locations, and i assume i can't install a wireless card in the ps2)...so am i stuck getting a regular dsl router and running rg9 cables downstairs? or should i just disconnect the upstairs dsl modem and bring it downstairs to play?

THere are external wireless adapters, BUT I don't recommend wireless for gaming. Too much lag as wireless really increases ping times.

Your mileage may vary tho

i'll probably just unplug the upstairs modem and take it downstairs to play.

i'm on a waiting list for a ps2 online adapter that should be here monday. i actually don't even have a ps2 yet, was waiting to get the adapter.
