Powerline Networking

Question

I currently have a wireless network for my home. However I want to connect my playstation2 to my network as well to be able to play via online. The room that my playstation is in has no ethernet jack and didn't think about installing one when my house was built. I've tried wireless but I sometimes would get slow/lagging connection as any wireless connection would. I was thinking about powerlining but did not have much experience with this technology yet. To be able to connect my playstation2, I would need 2 adapters right? One for my router and one for my playstation 2. Also if anyone has this setup, please let me know how you like it.

I use powerline networking for my whole house (4 desktop computers) and love it. I have Netgear equipment and they have worked flawlessly. 5 minute setup - no dropped connections or security issues to worry about. I've had it for about 2 years now and recommend it. And yes, you would need two adapters.

Will both adapters be exactly the same? The reason I ask is I looked on ebay and most of the things I've seen are USB powerline adapters. So will I need 2 usb powerline adapters? One from router and one from pc.

These are the ones I use. They are ethernet adapters. I am not familar with their USB counterparts and thus can't comment. Good luck. http://www.netgear.com/products/details/XE102.php
