Go with the N standard. Faster and longer range.
Something like this would be appropriate:
Link
For best results you should get the corresponding Dlink Xtreme N cards for your desktops (See related products on the page link above). That is the only way to get near the top speed result of 300 Mbps.
The PS3 has built in wifi, so no worries there. And gaming online is fine over wifi.
I must add however that since your rooms are next to each other, two cables running from each PC into a gigabit router shouldn't be an issue. If you perform large file transfers between each PC, that is the absolutely best bet (assuming each PC has a gigabit ethernet card).

1) Wireless N Networking
2) Wireless G Networking
What's the difference between these 2? Our network will have 2 PCs and 1 PS3 (game console). I heard you loose some bandwidth when using wireless compared to using wires, true? Or is it because they cheaped out? They range from $30-$200 CAN.
Also would the PS3 need a USB adapter like the 2 PCs or does Wi Fi pick it up? |
