i don't think you can connect PS2's through a wireless connection, while PS3 on the other hand will have that feature.

I bet you could! You wouldn't get much distance. It may be very difficult, i am not sure what devices you would need, but it must be possible.

You can get PLENTY of distance. BUT it's expensive as you need a wirless router on each PS2 :(
It woudl need configured from another port as normally these go look to the host for setup info and vice versa. Edimax have thought all that out and produced one pre-confgured to do the business - http://www.edimax.nl/final/products/datasheets/EW-7206GAb.pdf
BUT again at a high cost :(

thats about right
netgear do a good gaming router to be connected specialy to ps2
so at the internet connection u'll have a wireless router which willl transmit the internet signal.
u can also use this in u have a lan party with ps2's all of u can hook up ps2 togehter and for instance play gt4.

Just remember if someone has a clunky old microwave you'll all lose connection for a while :)

Thats what i thought, when i said, you wouldn't get much distance i meant like you wouldn't be able to play your mate down the road.

You can get up to 200-300metres and with a Pringles tin can extend that to a couple of kms :)
There are new a few extenders availabel for 802.11g as well, but you need to place them in between the ends to get max extension !!
