If you're getting a new router, it is best to secure it. This means that anyone attempting to connect to your wireless will need a series of numbers and letters (your key) to get access to your internet. Your PSP will ask for this if i sees a connection.

Answer 5

Of course, my friend. All wireless routers are wifi.  I mean, you can use them as a normal wired router, but you have the option to use it on wifi mode, or both. And the interface is universal, so there should be no problem to use it with your ps3 or pc. But make sure you configure it properly. Otherwise, any "signal hunter" might intercept your signal and use it for his/her own benefit. A sony psp user is a perfect example of this (I am always hunting signals hahahaha!), so make sure you protect your wifi configuration with a password. Now enjoy your ps3! :)

WiFi is a general term to refer to a wireless networks. There are many different kinds of wireless networks. They are all based on the 802.11 specification. Some of the differnent types are 802.11a, b, g, and n. 802.11n is still a draft, but is used in many of today's routers. You must have a card that supports the type of network the router uses.
