Hi, currently i have a 10 port router that is wired for all the computers in my house. The problem with that is i wanna go wireless without replacing the 10 port wired router. This is due to the fact that i am getting a PS3 for Christmas, and since i already have a Wii, i might as well find a way to get them both on the net without two extra 100ft ethernet cords that get all in the way. I have heard and read about the PS3 and PSP wifi key which you plug into your computer (via usb) and broadcast the wifi signal through the "key". I am interested in this method but am very hesitant to even try it.
-How does it work?
-Will it work for multiple devices?
-Will the computer that the "key" is connected to still have internet?

If that method is not what im lookin for, please help me find another way. Thanks.

You need a single box - a wireless access point. Forget about those "wifi keys".
 
Thanks for the replies... although i really know little about WAP. I know that it does provide internet access for wireless devices.

I decided to purchase the D-LINK WAP and it is coming in today through the mail.

Im going to be sure to post here if i have any questions about it. Since its going to be used for gaming.
