Ps3 Online Help (Newb Alert)

[Bugs03]

So I got a PS3 <woot!> and I am desperate to get the thing online

Here's my set up:

MAC connected on the 2nd floor via Cable Modem

PS3 on the 1st floor (not connected, obviously)

I can't trail a cable. I'm totally not bothered about having the two online at once.

My proprities are cost first, ease of setting the darn thing up second.

Thanks.

Oh I think I meant priorities

Welcome,

Two main options:
1. Buy a wireless router for the Mac and spread the internet love around the house to the PS3
2. Buy a set of Homeplug adapters and share the net via wall sockets (better speed and reliability)

Something like these:

Wonderful.

Now then, for the Home Plugmathingy, do I need a router?

And are they all compatible with Mac, or do I have to look for one wot says it is?!

No, just share the internet connection from your Mac

And are they all compatible with Mac, or do I have to look for one wot says it is?!
They dont require any software/drivers, so MAC compatability shouldn't be a problem

The Hexus review of the devolo adapters states:
"No drivers have to be installed and there's no absolute need even to install the supplied software - whether running Windows, Linux or Mac OS"

"We didn't have a Mac available but have little doubt that things would have worked equally well under Mac OS X."
