Hi everybody! since the pc/ps2 PSU server is going down this month I'm gonna need to get online with PSZ. The only problem is I don't have wireless internet hooked up in my house :( Can anyone suggest a wireless set up that would work with my dsl that goes through a phoneline? I know it's a crapie set up but if PSU worked this should do just fine. How much should I spend on a router? If I remember correctly they're about $60 or so.

A DS wi-fi toggle... thing... whatever it's called... should be all you need.

I know those are not being made anymore tho, I could get one second hand but I'd have to keep my computer on. If I had the router instead would my PC still have to be on? Thanks for the help Tolly!

I use an Apple Airport Base Station (wireless router with WiFi).
I hear Belkin is another good brand.

Either Belkin or Linksys make reliable routers.

you could just get the cheapest wireless router
1. setup wep or unencrypted
2. disable dhcp in wireless router
3. connect it to existing network
4. unplug it when not using
