Help! PS3 20G wireless adapter question

[EnterpriseF]

Hi all,
I have the original PS3 20G that does not have wireless support built in. I have been using a LinkSys WGA11B game adapter to provide the wireless connection to my DSL 2WIRE modem and it has worked well, but I recently switched to Comcast for my internet provider and I just discovered that this adapter does not support WPA or WPA-2. Are there any game adapters out there that will work with the 20G version of the PS3 and support WPA-2?

I think that you'll be looking for a wireless bridge (something like the D-Link DAP-1360). You'll need to do the setup on your computer to get the bridge talking to your wireless network, but you should then be able to move it to by your PS3 and just plug it in.

You won't be able to use any USB network adapters, since your PS3 won't know how to talk to them.

Ok. Will I need to then update the PS3 itself with the Comcast DNS entries, IP, etc?

Both the bridge & the PS3 should be set to get those automatically via DHCP. You shouldn't be manually configuring them.

Thanks for all your help. I did as you suggested and the PS3 is able to connect now.
