Yes I am able to access my PS3 with my PSP through remote play at home. However the range is pretty dismal. In most cases I cannot be more than a couple of rooms away from my PS3 or it will lose connection.

So let me get this straight. You are saying that if for instance I want to access my PS3 from 15 miles away I have to A.) Have a wireless router connected to my PS3 and B.) Be near a wifi access point?

How much do the routers generally cost?
