How do I connect XBox or PS2 wirelessly?
Although Microsoft have a Wireless adaptor for the XBox, all you need for either the XBox or PS2 to connect Wirelessly is a “Wireless bridge” (in client mode) and a Wireless Router or Access Point that shares your broadband connection wirelessly. Linksys have an 802.11G product called the WGA54G and D-Link have the 802.11G DWL-G810 at the time of writing. Most other manufacturers have a Wireless bridge/client of some sort that should do the trick fine. The open source Linksys WRT54GL also has some interesting possibilities in this regard with some of the firmware hacks getting around. These wireless client devices will connect to just about any Wireless Router so it shouldn’t matter if you need to mix the brands up. I set up a Linksys WET11 for a customer who already had a Netcomm NB3000 Wireless Router and the results were rather spectacular. Pings and throughput were fantastic with no noticeable difference from a cabled connection.
