I just got a PS2 Slim.
Already have a broadband connection and a wireless broadband router.

Is it even possible to get a wireless connection for my PS2 Slim????
If so, what hardware do I need?


Thx for any help

Linksys (among others) makes a module that plugs into the ps2 port and
connects wirelessly to your network. They cost like $100, though.

I've got my slim PS2, TiVo etc connecting to an ethernet hub, which then
connects to an Apple Airport Express. That then connects to my wireless
network.

You need, at a minimum, what's called a "Wireless Access Point."
Basically that's a box that will take an Ethernet connection, and beam
it to your wireless router.

Newegg has a couple:
