    Hi:

    I am interesting in trying the online stuff that PS2, XBox have to offer. Since my computer is in another room then my systems, I need to go wireless. I currently don't have any wireless routers right now.
    So I am looking for some help in buying what I need.

    Heres what I have.
    An XBOX, PS2 and a Onkyo Receiver that is internet capable. I want to connect all of these, wireless, to my computer. I would like to do these as cheap as possible. But I want the correct stuff.

    All right Lay it on me.

    Thanks In advance.

    You would need a wireless game adapter

    And then a wireless router

    That would get your consoles connected, though the game adapter only works with one at a time, you would have to swap the cable, connect to a switch, or buy 2 of them if you wanted both connected.

    Not sure on the Onkyo

    Alternatively, you could buy the router and connect the dsl/cable modem to it where the consoles are and wire them in the ethernet ports and then connect to your pc via wireless in the other room with a wireless adapter for the pc.
