Stupid Wifi question

Toxin01

I know this is a dumb question, but is it possible for me to plug a wireless router into our 4-way cable router and get Wifi on my PS3?

Yes it is. You have to set up one of the routers as a Gateway. I'm sure someone else can be more specific, but it can work.

Awesome, Now I just have to figure out how

Since no one backed me up I'll try my best.

What brand of router is your wired router? Wireless? I know in one of the front pages of the router (which normally is the IP: 192.168.1.1) it gives you the option to set it as a Router or a Gateway. If you select Gateway it allows you to send it to whatever else is plugged into it.

Note: I've never actually done this before I just read up on it because I was curious.

You could just plug a wireless access point into your wired router. This would be easier than adding a wireless router to your existing setup. If you were going to go buy a wireless router, you could use it to replace your existing wired router, since it would have wired ports on it as well.
