wifi connection?

I have wireless internet setup in my house and I want to hook up a PS3 in the network, wirelessly. Basically I'm just asking if you guys if you think it'll be okay. I know the only way to tell is to try it out, but I don't have that capability yet.

My wireless modem is on the 3rd floor of my house and the 60 gb PS3 is going in the basement. I have a laptop w/ a wireless g card also. When I'm in the basement with my laptop the signal isn't great and it says I have a good or low signal. I can still surf pretty smoothly with the laptop with no apparent lag. My question to you guys is: Will I have a good connection with the PS3? What I don't want to happen is: "Failure to connect to server" when playing Madden online or something else. Do you have to have a very good connection to be productive on the PS3, or can it be less than that?

Thanks.

interesting... well i don't have an answer for you because im still waiting for a PS3 aswell

my PC is across the house, so the wi-fi is gonna have to reach a good 35m through a couple of walls.

well i hope its gonna work out for both of us...

It all depends on the type/quality of the router that you have. However, when in doubt, you'll need a network expander. Since I don't know your setup, I'll just show two different types and you can go from there.

  You could also get the antennae extenders to boost the signal. However, I am hoping that you have, at least, 802.11g, because .11b is a bit too slow. 802.11n is (currently) preferred. I personally like this one... http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859632665&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper
