I don't think so, but you could use an 802.11n wireless access point with ethernet to the PS3 port.

 

What on earth are you doing to need more than 802.11g can provide anyway?

But more bandwidth is only the solution if insufficient bandwidth was the problem, and I'd be surprised if that was the case for online gaming.

I am glad you cleared that up, because PS3 online gaming uses a tiny fraction of what Wireless G outputs. But is 30mbps really too slow to download a game?! My wireless router and the previous one easily maintain that speed over the internal network when transferring video files between PC and PS3.

 

Wireless G is fine, internet speed is generally the problem. :smileyhappy:
