Hi im fairly new to the forums ive been reading this site since I got my psp about 2 months ago never made a post because I have very little to contribute.

I currently use my internet through my phoneline (Dsl) I do have a wireless router but the signal dosent reach across my house to my room. So i was wondering if I could use a wireless pci network card (Linksys wireless-g) as sort of a wireless acess point for my psp.

Simmilar to the setup with the nintendo wifi usb thumb device where it uses the wirless signals coming from the console to the thumb device and then uses the dsl to connect to the servers.

Is there any way I could set this up with my psp?

Feel free to ask questions im sure I didint explain it as clearly as i could.

Cheers,

jujuman

Yeah, there is a dongle out, that connects to your pc using USB. If you had to wireless PC card installed, and your computer was connected, the Dongle would work.

Yeah i beleive i saw the dongle, reason against using it was I heard that it might be possible to re-use this wirless network card. I think the dongle was http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=5778. Im trying to save myself a few bucks and see if I could get it working with just psp to network card then it goes through my wired connection.
