[QUOTE="Joey Hedrick, post: 542414, member: 61643"] Yes. You want what's called a wireless ethernet bridge. Since the Xbox/PS2 don't have true wireless adaptor capability, you have to use a bridge. It basically allows you to add wireless to any device with an ethernet port. They're not as popular as regular adaptors, so they tend to be a bit more expensive. In my living room, I have a Tivo, a PC, and an Xbox, all needing wireless access. Rather than buy a wireless adaptor for each individual device, I took an old 5-port switch that I had lying around, bought a wireless bridge for $60, and plugged it into the uplink port on the switch. Then I just wired every device in the living room into the 10/100 ports on the switch, so they all go through the bridge to my wireless router. Saved me a lot of money. [/QUOTE]
