How to Play PS2 Online With a Wireless Adapter

The PlayStation 2, unlike its successor, was never equipped with a wireless Internet card, but you still can connect it to a wireless network using its Ethernet port and a wireless adapter. Using a wireless adapter with your PS2 is easy, but you need a specific type known as a wireless Ethernet bridge. This is a device that accepts wireless signal broadcasts and connects them to your device via Ethernet cable. With the right equipment and proper knowledge, you'll have your PS2 connected to your wireless network in no time.
