I dont know where to put this, so ill just post it here. I was wondering if its possible to have 2 modems in the same house? I ask this question because my ps3 and computer are in totally different rooms, ive tried wireless routers and they dont work either.

You could probably get away with it on DSL using 2 DSL modems. You'd still only be able use one connection at a time though. Cable modem is probably a no go as they rely on the devices MAC address to authenticate the connection. What exactly was wrong with the wireless router solution. That's the most common solution..

I tried a wireless modem, but the connection wasnt good enough to play online

hmm...Your settings probably weren't right on either end of the WiFi connection. Why don't you just use wired connections on the router. You can run cat5 cable up to 300 feet.

Use a wired router. You can also use the network through the mains method which will save you having to put down new wiring.
