I'm looking for a way to wirelessly connect my consoles using a broadband connection. Anyone have any idea if there's any kind of adapters that plug into the back of the X Box, PS2, or GC that will let me connect wirelessly to a network?

I am kinda clueless with these things, but I guess you could use a hub? http://www.xbconnect.com/Help/WET11.htm
Wireless routers. But they'r expensive, and they tend to be more laggier. They can be had for about 150 bucks. Check LinkSYS's website.
Oh, routers is what I meant, I think...
*hides*
Those pics look right!!! ahaha
Or wait...

Take your medicine like a man, son :p
But I hate cherry flavoured! :(
Wouldn't having everything hooked up to one wireless source kill the speed? And does the fact that it's wireless effect the speed?
Yes. The signal is going through walls to the router which would slow it down, whereas if it was going through a Cat5/Cat6 cable, it'd be direct.
Thanks for the input guys. I saw the Linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge thanks to the link posted above. I think that's what I'll be getting. Anyone know how much more lag you'd get if the room was no more than about 25 feet away?
Maybe a ping around 150. Still pretty good, but you'll lag out if your try hosting in a broadband only game. Why not just get a normal router if it's only 25 feet, though?
I have a router now, but it's in another room. I just bought a house and I'm trying to avoid having to run cables throughout it, but with the lag issues it's starting to sound like the better option.Quote:
