HELP. TWO ROUTERS.

**declancurrey93** · August 24th, 2011, 07:13 AM

Hey,

I have a ps3 and a psp. And I want to use a feature called 'Ad Hoc Party'. But it requires my ps3 to be linked up with an ethernet cable, the only plroblem is my bt home hub is on the opposite side of the house

I have another router so would there be any way to connect that router wirelessly to the home hub? And then from my new router run an ethernet cable into the ps3?

So basically the new router in the room with my ps3 would be sharing internet with the other router that is plugged into the wall

Any help would be awesome, thank you!

What other router do you have?

A netgear router, is it possible?

What model netgear? Not all routers support the same abilities when it comes to wireless bridging.

Okay, so I found it it won't be compatible but I have another Idea.

I have a laptop that has a wireless function. Could I connect an ethernet cable from the laptop to the ps3 and use the laptops wireless in the same way I would have used the router?

What OS are you running on the laptop? If you are running windows you can plug the laptop into the router and use ICS and ADHOC mode. It pretty much makes the laptop a router which is jerry rig way of doing this

Im using XP on the laptop.

I need to use an ethernet connection, because the ps3 will be in ad hoc mode when connecting with the psp wirelessly.

Thats why I need an ethernet cable into my laptop, and hopefully get the laptop to connect to the internet, giving my ps3 internet access!

Any ideas?
