how can i tell if my cpu is capable of wireless? - Blu-ray Forum

Erman_94 · 03-16-2008, 11:53 PM

im not very computer savvy so i am a little clueless and i would like to start using my ps3 wirelessly.

is there a wireless card that must be in my cpu for a wireless router to work?

and how can i tell if the card is G or should i just get a N router?

any help is appreciated, thanks

PS3 has a wireless card built in. You would just need to get a wireless router and hook it up to your home network... From there you'd be good to go!

Cable > router > ethernet cable > wireless router

and how do i know if my other cpu/laptop has wireless as well?

you would have to have a wireless card (either built in or as an adder)
Check under Control Panel > System > hardware tab > Device Manager
Then hit the plus sign next to network adaptors. if one of the descriptions you see says wireless, you have the built in capability. If not, then you would have to buy a separate card.

ok thank you very much...

btw, nice avatar, go gunners

...its a shame man u tied them

Tell me about it!!! If the gunners could stay healthy, I think things would be different. The worst part is they've played 1 more than both Man U and Chelsea, so the blues could draw even and Man U can go 3 in the clear. It's nerve racking this late in the season. Too many draws.... Always good to meet another supporter though!

ya, that tie last week (or was it the week before) didn't help at all. i miss thierry henry though, i think it was too early for adebayor to step into the spotlight especially with van persie's injury and all...oh well, hopefully they can pull out a big win against man u coming up

Erman_94 · 03-23-2008, 11:43 PM

Obiit · 03-24-2008, 11:44 AM

Yep wireless USB device and a wireless router/access point will do the job fine
