Have a pc connected to broadband modem in a bedroom. It's a wireless modem but the pc is wired into it and other phones/ipads etc use the wireless. In another bedroom at the rear of them house we have a ps3 which currently uses the wireless for internet. It's not great and is not reliable for online games and downloading…

What's the easiest way to connect it 'wired' instead if wireless. There is another phoneline connection in the bedroom close by.

Powerline ethernet plugs.

Plug one in beside the PS3 and connect it via a short CAT5 patch cable. Plug the other in beside the Router and again connect via a short patch lead. Aside from running a new CAT5 cable between the PS3 and the Router this is the simplest option.
