PS3 as switch

[WhatARoaster]

Does anyone know if i can use the wireless on my ps3 to connect to my router, then use the Ethernet port on the back to supply an internet connection to another device?

As far as I know you cannot use the PS3 as a bridge to supply a connection to another device.

Get a EA-N66 from NCIX.

No, I don't believe you can

You can't use a ps3 as a bridge.

If you install your computer OS onto the PS3 you may be able to transfer the connection. They will need to be using the same wireless reciever though and in that case I don't see why you would need to transfer a signal through the PS3... But like I said, try installing your current OS onto your PS3. Then try.

If he's running Windows or OSX he can't install his main OS to his PS3. The PS3 uses an IBM Cell processor which has a completely different architecture than either of the preciously mentioned operating systems will run on.

FALSE. I DID IT

for the time and hassle you will go through to get the ps3 to do this, you'd be better off to buy a decent wifi card or usb wifi adapter off of ncix.com and save yourself the trouble and stress
