Who is your ISP? If it's BT, then call them and ask<br /> for your BT HomeHub, because it's long over due to you. You say you have <br /> BT Voyager Modem. This tells me it's been a while since you updated your<br /> contract. You'll get the Hub from them and you can go wireless but it costs<br /> £30 and no dongle!<br /> So get the BT Vision aswell, pay 30 quid, and get the Bt Vision Digi box + dongle +<br /> HUB, and you're well sorted 30 fookin quid!! <br /> <i>BT Vision is free to view so don't worry about monthly payments</i><br /> <br /> or<br /> <br /> You could buy a new Wireless router, which cheapest I've seen so far is about<br /> 39.99. But then you'll still need to get a dongle (that's what another 15 quid??)<br /> <br /> or<br /> <br /> You could buy the Network Powerline (plugs into you electrical socket) and use<br /> that for your internet connection. Very expensive, but i'd say the neatest and best<br /> way. The cheapest I've seen is Netgear and they are about £60+<br /> <br /> <br /> You're gonna have to fork out at least £30 regardless, or just stick to the loooooong<br /> ethernet cable.... text/html 2008-07-02T08:09:10-05:00 J Bothroyd http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71888/#0 Hi Guys<br /> <br /> At the moment my PS3 and X360 are in my living room downstairs.<br /> My PC is in my office upstiars.<br /> My PC is connected to the web via a BT Voyager USB modem.<br /> I want to get my PS3 online<br /> When I took my X360 online I had to run a really long ethernet cable up my stairs and into the back of my PC.<br /> Can someone advise me what I need to get the PS3 online without resorting to this 'long cable' method? Some advice on the cheapest yet most effective product would also be a great help.<br /> <br /> Many thanks as always<br /> <br /> J
