I got myself a brand new PS2 slimine for Christmas aswell as someone's old PC they didn't want (not as a present ) and I'd like to network them both.

I've already got a WiFi network running in my house, but the router is downstairs and I can't (realistically) run two ethernet cables from there up to my room for both machines. So, I've been rumaging around Google trying to find something that'll allow me to connect both the PC and the PS2 to my internet connection and the closest thing I can find is this:

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0191939005.1167428116@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccfcaddjkgjefldcflgceggdhhmdgmh.0&page=Product&fm=13&sm=1&tm=5&sku=374215&category_oid=-28367

But, unfortunatly it only sports one ethernet port. Do any of you know of any goood wirless ehterner bridges that have at least 2 ethernet ports? It seems a bit wastefull to get a PCI WiFi adaptor AND that gizmo ^^

Thanks

maybe a range expander for somewhere at the midpoint (only needs a power outlet) between the current wireless router and the pc/ps2 location, then put a combo 4 port wired + wireless router at the pc/ps2 location. I dont know your budget or layout but it may work.

Its sorta what I had to do to get wireless g feed to inlaws apartment 2 levels down. I also put 2 honkin' hi-gain antennas on the router, for the extra brain melting kick
