Wireless Router?
I plan to purchase a wireless router soon but I have some questions. I plan to play PS3 and PSP online. Does the wireless router cost monthly to operate even though PS3 and PSP online is free? Also, I have DSL right now, will a wireless router interfere with my DSL? One last thing, what is a reasonable prices for a wireless router? I forgot to add this. If my PS3 is upstairs and the wireless router is downstairs, will my PS3 pick up 100% of the signal? Mike - Thanks. I'll ask in the Playstation section if PS3's have wireless receptors built in.

- You will hook your dsl to your wireless router. This will allow everything to go to the internet through your router. It is a one time purchase and then its yours. I don't know how much they run at the moment. Good luck getting everything online.
- Hi. Take a look at the Linksys WRT54G series, usually can be found for about $50. No monthly fee. If you use just DSL then your speed will not improve but should also not interfere.
- There are no monthly fees to operate a wireless router. It won't interfere with your DSL, but you have to plug it into your DSL. They cost around $50-$70. See, what you do is you plug your DSL into the router, and then it connects to your PC and PS3 wirelessly. The important thing to remember is that you need a wireless receptor thing connected to your PC or PS3 to receive the DSL signal from the router, that card can run you about $20. I'm not sure, some laptops have the wireless card built-in, but I don't know if your computer does or not. And I have no idea if the PS3 has that built-in or not. It depends on how far away upstairs and downstairs is for you, and it depends on how strong the router is. I think you should be fine.
