i bridge my internet connection on my pc, and then allow my other computers/devices to connect via this computer's internet connection. this works well with my ps3 and xbox360, via a ethernet cable, but for my psp, nds, and wii which uses wi-fi i cannot connect them via my computer's ac-hoc connection. i do have a router with wi-fi laying around the house but i am troubleshooting getting that work with a bridged internet connection. i would plug my ethernet cable from my computer (with an internet connection and a bridge) to the router and try to connect to my internet off my psp but dns error. ac-hoc is no luck either unless i am doing something wrong? any help please thanks!

Why do you have to run it through your computer? Why not just put the router in your room and run to it from the modem then run ethernet from the router to your computer/xbox/ps3 (most routers have 4 ethernet ports or more) and use the wireless router for the rest?

i have one of those 3G mobile broadband that connects to your usb port, in order to share it to my other computers or devices i need to bridge it. see what i am getting at? i am trying to use my router to build a network to other computers and devices, including the wifi

Ah, so you don't have like cable or DSL.

If standard ad-hoc methods are not working then it may be impossible, as that would be what I would recommend. It is a bit expensive, but they do have 3G routers, for example Netgear MBR624GU. D-Link and Linksys also have them. In the long run, setting up a formal network instead of the ad-hoc one you are messing with may be safer and less aggravating, but I understand the need to save money.

100 bucks doesn't seem too expensive as i buy 60-70 dollar video games on a regular basis. thanks for the suggestion
