What do i need for wireless internet?

Hi all,

What do i need to have hardware wise for a wireless internet connection for my PS3 and PC. I'm on a 512k broadband wired connection at the moment but i'd like to upgrade to wireless internet as the wires are getting on my nerves!

All you need is a wireless router or a wireless base station, ensure your PC is wireless compatible though. You can find wireless routers everywhere, have a look here - Amazon.co.uk :smileywink:

yep.

providing you have a spare PCI slot on your motherboard you can fit a card and off you go...

BUT

i would ask where your router would be situated.. if its anywhere near the PC itself then using wireless with your PC would be a waste of time..
