Wireless PS2 connection?

May be...
  • I was wondering if it was possible for me to connect to my wireless router, whichis upstairs, to my PS2 in the basement, or if I have to use an ethernet cable and wire the two together
  • you can wire them or get a wireless gaming adapter.
  • Connecting your PS2 to the Internet



    I've reviewed many of the components necessary for PS2 online gameplay, but here is a simple start-to-finish explanation of how to get your PS2 to play with others.



    Step 1: Network Connector

    The very first step is to make your PS2 able to play online. It cannot do this normally. To do this, you need the PS2 Network Adaptor. This simply plugs into the back of your PS2.



    Step 2: Wireless Receiver

    I would really stay away from the dialup connection for your PS2. Instead, get a Linksys Wireless Receiver. This unit is probably around $40 and plugs into your Network Connector. Make sure you get a receiver with a **NETWORK PORT** and not a **USB PORT**. Your PS2 doesn't have a USB connector, it has a network connector. The receiver sends the signals through the air over to your router, which is Step 3.



    Step 3: Linksys Wireless Router

    Yes, you can get a regular router and run a wire all the way to your PS2. But believe me, having wires everywhere gets really annoying really quickly. Instead, grab your Linksys Wireless Router. In essence, your cable modem comes into the house and plugs into the back of the router. The router lets up to four computers and countless wireless devices all share the internet! Play HalfLife on your PC while your friends play PS2 online in the other room, or visa versa. This is WELL
  • Well

    Since there is no one online for PS2 you should not bother with it

    Your time would better be spent peeking on girls through supermarket food shelves

    Really

    dont be so gee and cheep and bye yourself an xbox 360 or Wii

    that way you will be like the rest of us and not be made fun of for having no friends

    Noob
  • You need a network adapter for the wireless connection, get this if you think your internet is fast and i doubt i'll reach the basement...

    other than that you need to connect it with ethernet.
  • for a PS2 I believe you need the network adaptor for the old (fat) models, the slims should be able to connect out of the box but both only do wired connections.
  • I have wireless connection and I have an ethernet cord tht connecs into the fone jack and the playstation
  • must use ethernet cord (blue one)
  • Get an xbox 360
  • you need a keyboard NP
