Doing some research to finally set a home wireless network. I have an original PS3 and am trying to determine if there are any wireless N adapters that are compatible. Have seen contradictory reports on the web so Im curious if anyone here has this up and running or can make a specific recommendation.
 
You can set up a wireless network using ANY wireless capable device. PC's, Notebooks, PDA's and PS3's. The methods are the same
 
You can configure wireless access point devices to connect gaming consoles or other ethernet devices. They connect to the ethernet port of the receiving device. Here are a couple of examples:

Of course, there are other devices at other price points as well as other brands with similar devices. Your choice. I actually use this type of device to connect my PC wirelessly to my router.
 
The D-Link DAP-1522 looks pretty interesting, would be nice to have the additional ethernet ports. Do have a question about security, if a wireless adapter supports WPA2 does this ensure that support for WPA2-PSK or Personal mode can be assumed?
 
I downloaded the manual for the DAP-1522 and according to it:

The DAP-1522 offers the following types of security:

• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
 
Thanks mailpup, just cancelled the order for the TRENDnet TEW-687GA and have decided to go with the D-Link DGL-4500 instead. It was available on newegg for $99 which seemed like a pretty good price. All the components should arrive around the middle of next week, will probably be back with more questions :)
