Wireless Gaming?

Has anyone hooked up their ps2, cube or box to a wireless network yet?

If you did, what equipment did you buy and how easy/hard was it to set up?

Need to go wireless before my Beta Copy of Ratchet and Clank III shows up.

While I haven't dont it personaly I have been looking into the option for my box, because I have one line to my room so I have to take it off my comp when I wanna play live, which is a bitch.
But my understanding is you buy the wireless adapter for $99 and as long as you have wireles in your house your good to go.

I've already ordered it. Should work for all 3 systems.

But the trick is (as it would be with any other adaptor of the type) that you have to hook it up to a computer first to do initial configuration on it, then you set up a web based configuration so that when you have it hooked up to something else, you can still work the options.

You also have to assign it a static ip from the router. This way it always has the same ip, this is needed for the web based configuration tool.

There you go. I have ordered mine already and I will let you guys know how the hook up goes.

Well it came it.

I hooked it up and tested it briefly with CoN.

Works pretty good. I saw some choppyness in the game but I'm not sure if that was the adaptor or the person that entered my game. I'm going to do some more testing with it tonight.
