Ps3 internet set-up Questions.?

Well, I have a Ps3 and i am just Dying to get online! First of all I have a problem. My Computer is on the second floor, and the PS3 on the main level. In about a year and a half (when our basement is finished) the Computer, and PS3 will be moved down into it.

1. I have NO Router, just a modem. (The modem is wired). So, do i actually need a Router to make this whole process easier?

2. I would prefer to have a Wireless router, because i do not want a 100 ft ethernet cord running through the house.

3. What is the difference between a router and a modem?

4. I was thinking on getting a Linksys WRT54G, Is this a good model?

5. I have some 'Good' Multiplayer games, such as Battlefield: Bad Company, GTA IV, Call of Duty 4. Any more suggestions? I was thinking of Metal Gear Online.

OMG !!.!
I have the same problem.
1. Yes you will also need a router, if your modem is'nt also a router.

2. That ethernet cord is a great suggestion. The length and all.
My computer is in my room and the PS3 is in the living room.
My home is one floor.So there's not much I can help with that.

3. The difference is that the router you can have more than one internet source connected to more computers. I honestly do not know the main purpose of a modem. But you WILL need it.

4. And the man who hooked my internet up told me that a Linksys brand will work better. And it's a certain type.
It's going to have two antennas in the back,

EXTRAS: After you learn how to hook it all up you have to setup the PS3 and the router on your computer.

That's all I know.
I plan to get a router again.
And it's a little too complicated for me so I suggest getting a professional [Geeksuad; FireDog<---Is that right?] to come out and hook it up for you.

If, and or when you, do, please message me To better help me undertsand. So can you please message me when you do.

I also have Call Of Duty 4, and GTA IV… So maybe this should help you.
