Ouch - even an Apple Airport Express Base Station is cheaper than that, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC414LL/A/airport-express-base-station?fnode=4d. It has a Bridge mode that you can hook up a wired device into the wireless network. On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 1:06 PM, Jim Campbell wrote: > >

First off, the PS3 is wireless, you shouldn't have a problem there. Secondly, if the DirectTV receiver is not wireless and you can't run CAT-5, you can set up a wireless bridge. Many moons ago, I was able to get an effective bridge set up with two low-end Linksys 802.11g APs and it worked wonderf

doesn't the ps3 have wireless? if so its obvious, hook up the wireless router and the ps3 hooks up to the internet via wireless. As for the directTV system I think you may need a cable splitter and run a separate line into the room with the directTV system. larry On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 8:56 PM,
