I have my PS3 and Xbox 360 up in my room and want to use a Linksys router as a wireless adapter for each so that I can get online with them. I heard that it is possible, does anyone know how to do it?

Depending on the model of router you buy it can be a hassle, but saving $50-$100 it's still worth it to me at least. I have found better success with the older WRT54G routers as the newest do not run full featured versions of DD-WRT and can be problematic when configuring a bridge.

You can get a Netgear WGPS606 off eBay or clearance instead. It's limited to WPA (not WPA2), but can otherwise get the job done if you don't have too far to go.
