PC<Modem>PS3

Jankons · 11-21-2008, 02:55 PM

I have a modem, it has a USB port and an ethernet port. I use the ethernet port, but I got this PS3 here which only supports wireless or ethernet internet connection(not usb). So I was wondering if I could use my USB connection for my PC and Ethernet connection for my PS3 simultaneously like a router.

Thanks all

With most plain modems you can only use one of the connections at a time, either the USB or the Ethernet, but not both. You need a broadband router to share the connection.
